Well all I can say is that when I use hand nothing happens and when I use pointer - I get a hand!!
- pointer (hand) works in firefox, it's just the music which doesn't play!
onclick="FP_playSound(/*url*/'BD00313_.mid');" Perhaps it's a problem with add-ons.

Merci

This is the code now and it works fine except for firefox I can't seem to discover why - any ideas?!

onclick="FP_playSound(/*url*/'BD00313_.mid');" 
onmouseover="FP_changeProp(/*music*/'img1',1,'style.cursor','pointer')" 
src="pics_index/music.png" style="height: 30px; width: 28px" /><b>Music</b></p>


You were implying the "hand" was not working.  FF requires add-ons for playing some kinds of music extensions (including Windows Media Player).  Just remember that if the viewer does not have the add-on it will not work.  Google Chrome and Safari have the same problems.  Proper testing in all browsers is a must.  This is well documented if you google "firefox and chrome do not play music"

OK,
I thought my previous post was clear; if you set the cursor.style to hand- nothing happens, if you set it to pointer it does work and the pointer is a hand! I can not put it any other way.
Music plays in chrome. Although this could be the result of an add on of course. Check it yourself www.closdesguyons.com! That is why I asked specifically about firefox.

G'day Angevine,

Sorry, I'm a total newbie in EW so can't help you in your query but when I viewed your website via Firefox v3.6 the cursor changed to a hand when it hovered over "Play Music" although our FF could have an add on.

Something else I noticed is that many of your English language webpages are not centered e.g. Index page, Our Village, Bed & Breakfast, Printable Booking Form etc. I didn't check the French lanuage pages except for the Index page which was centered.

Regards,

Chris

Salut Chris,

Yes the problem I was simply trying to explain is that I can get the hand using the change property behavior but not by; style. cursor for the property name and hand for the property value, this gives nothing.  On the other hand style.cursor and then pointer for the property value gives -- a hand! Try it and if it isn't the case with your EW I can only assume I have a unique version!

Yes, you are right on page centering.  Many pages on my site were initially done as long ago as ten years in FP.  I increasingly had problems uploading changes because of updated code.  The worst pages I quickly redid using absolute layers - hence the problem with centres, I knew so little about CSS at the time that I didn't even use a container.  I am now redoing them using external style sheets and, I think, all the ones that I have done are all centred except the index page which is proving very difficult, probably because it is a three col.  layout.  For example all the french pages seem to centre very easily but they are two col. layouts. If I apply the same method to the index page the formatting  simply does not render in Firefox and Chrome although it looks OK in preview. Still working on that one!

Thanks for your comments
à plus

A big thank you Chris, after your last comment I had another bash at centering the index page.  Finally tried text-centering the <body> and it worked where nothing else would.

Merci bien

The reason it doesn't work when you set it to 'hand' is because 'hand' is not an option as a property value for cursor. 'Pointer' is the correct property value to have the cursor change to a hand 'pointing'.
I just checked your music link in FF 3.57 and it doesn't work. The cursor did what it was supposed to do but FF isn't recognizing a link. If I mouse over any of your other links the link will show up on the bottom but not the play music link.
 
I saw a real player add-on for music record that is not compatible with FF 3.57 but that was the only one I saw relating to music.

Thanks tjaks, 

Yes, I know it isn't working in FF, that was the point of my original question. It does work in IE and Chrome though so they are clearly finding the link. That is what I can't understand.

On the hand business yes it is clear that hand is not an option, again that is what I am saying.  The problem is that in previous comments other contributors have said that hand is the default and, I may also say, does Jim Cheshire in his massive book "USING EW2" SPECIAL ADDITION.  If anyone has it, have a look - page 407.  

Voila 
Angevine
