I have this a and I don't know that I need to insert into the "onmouseover" so that the cursor will change to finger pointer like a regular link:

<a class="menu_links" onclick="displayData(11,1,0,'A')" onmouseover=""> A </a>

I read somewhere that I need to put:

onmouseover="cursor: hand (a pointing hand)"

But it's not working for me.

Plus I'm not sure if this is considered JavaScript, CSS, or just plain HTML.

<a class="menu_links" onclick="displayData(11,1,0,'A')" onmouseover="" style="cursor: pointer;"> A </a>

It's css.

Or in a style sheet:

a.menu_links { cursor: pointer; }
