Can someone tell me why this piece of code doesn’t work with mozilla Firebird but well with Internet explorer, is there something i could change ?

```auto
<img src="index.jpg" height="570" width="820"onMouseOver="this.style.cursor='hand'";
 onclick="PopUp()"
>

```

In IE, it shows the hand when i rollover the picture not in Firebird

Thanks,

Ubik

cursor:hand doesn’t seem to work in firebird. Though they just released 0.9, I haven’t tried it, maybe it works now?

Go read [http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr\_class\_cursor.asp](http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_class_cursor.asp) about using the cursor.

Note this:  
"Notes in IE 5.x:

```
* To display a hand, you may use the non-standard value hand. Like this: {cursor: hand}

```

"

So it looks like IE is the only browser that recognizes “hand” ? Try using “pointer” instead.

firebird was the original name, but due to some legal issues they changed it to firefox when version 0.8 came out.
