Hi people, i can’t get this code to work in IE (works fine in FF and O):

```auto
onmouseover="this.style.cursor='pointer'"

```

I use the mouseover in an imagemap. I have a **display: block** style attached to the \<area\>'s to make it work in FF and O, but that trick doesn’t seem to cut it in IE.

Clues, anyone?
