clicking layers????

I have a layer that makes another layer visible when it is clicked.

How do I make the leyer change the mouse curser to a hand? so that people know that to click it?

Thanks

By not applying the behavior to the <div> tag. Apply it to the contents of
the layer.

I have used Dreamweaver for several years and in previous versions, (prior to
the 2 latest), anytime I put a behavior on an object in a layer, I got the
"hand". I've noticed that I don't get that anymore unless I put a hotspot on
an object in a layer and then put the behavior on the hotspot. Is there anyway
to make the "hand" appear? I've always put the behavior on an object in a
layer, not on the layer itself, and I'm lazy! I don't want to go the extra
step of putting in the hotspot if I don't have to.

You are making a mistake then.

I've always put the behavior on an object in a
layer, not on the layer itself, and I'm lazy!

Show me the code where you have done this and not gotten the hand, and I'll
show you how to not make the mistake! 8)

I was so frustrated by this problem that I just called the tech support number
and spoke with someone there about it. In older versions of Dreamweaver this
was not a problem but with the last 2 releases they "fixed" it so that putting
a behavior on an object does not automatically cause the 'hand" to appear. To
get the "hand" to appear you need to put a # sign in the Link field of the
image property box. I tried it and it works great!

Have you tried highlighting your text and manually changing its color with the
text menu in the menu bar at the top of the workspace? I think that will help
for the color, but I'm sorry, I don't know how to get rid of your underlining
unless you go to your page properties and change it to Never underline, but I
don't know if you want to do that.

<sigh>

What nonsense. This person has no clue. It is NOT a DW problem. It is how
HTML works.

Here's the truth. A link causes the browser to use the pointer for the
cursor. Applying a behavior to something that is not a link will cause you
to not get the pointer.

What may have happened in earlier versions is that when you applied that
behavior a null link was automatically inserted.

Pseudo-classes and container styles are what you need - here are some
tutorials.
