Question
<div><span>shanghai</span><span>male</span></div>
For div like above,when mouse on,it should become cursor:pointer,and when clicked,fire a
javascript function,how to do that job?
EDIT: and how to change the background color of div when mouse is on?
EDIT AGAIN:how to make the first span's width=120px?Seems not working in firefox
Solution
Give it an ID like "something", then:
var something = document.getElementById('something');
something.style.cursor = 'pointer';
something.onclick = function() {
// do something...
};
Changing the background color (as per your updated question):
something.onmouseover = function() {
this.style.backgroundColor = 'red';
};
something.onmouseout = function() {
this.style.backgroundColor = '';
};
OTHER TIPS
<div style="cursor: pointer;" onclick="theFunction()">
is the simplest thing that works.
Of course in the final solution you should separate the markup from styling (css) and behavior (javascript) - read on it on a list apart for good practices on not just solving this particular problem but in markup design in general.
I suggest to use jQuery:
$('#mydiv')
.css('cursor', 'pointer')
.click(
function(){
alert('Click event is fired');
}
)
.hover(
function(){
$(this).css('background', '#ff00ff');
},
function(){
$(this).css('background', '');
}
);
I suggest to use a CSS class called clickbox and activate it with jQuery:
$(".clickbox").click(function(){
window.location=$(this).find("a").attr("href");
return false;
});
Now the only thing you have to do is mark your div as clickable and provide a link:
<div id="logo" class="clickbox"><a href="index.php"></a></div>
Plus a CSS style to change the mouse cursor:
.clickbox {
cursor: pointer;
}
Easy, isn't it?
add the onclick attribute
<div onclick="myFunction( event );"><span>shanghai</span><span>male</span></div>
To get the cursor to change use css's cursor rule.
div[onclick] {
cursor: pointer;
}
The selector uses an attribute selector which does not work in some versions of IE. If you want to support those versions, add a class to your div.
As you updated your question, here's an obtrustive example:
window.onload = function()
{
var div = document.getElementById("mydiv");
div.style.cursor = 'pointer';
div.onmouseover = function()
{
div.style.background = "#ff00ff";
};
}
<div style="cursor: pointer;" onclick="theFunction()" onmouseover="this.style.background='red'" onmouseout="this.style.background=''" ><span>shanghai</span><span>male</span></div>
This will change the background color as well
The simplest of them all:
<div onclick="location.href='where.you.want.to.go'" style="cursor:pointer"></div>
