Why is my DIV changing my cursor?

Question

I have two DIV's and when I put DIV #2 inside of DIV#1 and then view my page, when I put my cursor over DIV #2 it changes the cursor to the select (highlight) cursor?

I am very confused?

Answer 1

You must have something in the div that the browser is interpreting as text.

Answer 2

Is the CSS property for cursor set? It may have the value 'text' set for it's property value.

Look for

div {
    cursor: text;
}

Answer 3

Rules other than "cursor" can change the cursor also. I think using 'zoom' can change the cursor to a highlight/text cursor under certain circumstances for example.

Answer 4

If this is a big problem you can always change the cursor manually in css

cursor: pointer;

This is the just the type of thing FireFox w/ FireBug can instantly help you figure out... Just right-click and 'Inspect Element' and CSS is given. Voila.
