In Firefox 3.6.10 and 3.6.7 when a page is first loaded and the mouse pointer is over a link it turns into a hand. But when I set the anchor tag cursor style to auto by javascript and hover the mouse pointer over that same anchor tag now it shows as it was over pure text. In IE8 and Chrome it works as expected (by me).
Do I understand it wrong?
<html lang="en">
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function cursor_auto() {
document.getElementById('anchor').style.cursor = 'auto';
}
function cursor_pointer() {
document.getElementById('anchor').style.cursor = 'pointer';
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="http://example.com" id="anchor">Example</a>
<input type="button" onclick="cursor_auto();" value="Cursor Auto">
<input type="button" onclick="cursor_pointer();" value="Cursor Pointer">
</body>
</html>
