Change the mouse cursor on mouse over to anchor-like style

If you want to do this in jQuery instead of CSS, you basically follow the same process.

Assuming you have some <div id="target"></div>, you can use the following code:

$("#target").hover(function() {
    $(this).css('cursor','pointer');
}, function() {
    $(this).css('cursor','auto');
});

and that should do it.

This will

#myDiv
{
    cursor: pointer;
}

You actually don't need jQuery, just CSS. For example, here's some HTML:

<div class="special"></div>

And here's the CSS:

.special
{
    cursor: pointer;
}

Assuming your div has an id="myDiv", add the following to your CSS. The cursor: pointer specifies that the cursor should be the same hand icon that is use for anchors (hyperlinks):

CSS to Add

#myDiv
{
    cursor: pointer;
}

You can simply add the cursor style to your div's HTML like this:

<div style="cursor: pointer">

</div>

EDIT:

If you are determined to use jQuery for this, then add the following line to your $(document).ready() or body onload: (replace myClass with whatever class all of your divs share)

$('.myClass').css('cursor', 'pointer');
