Making a hyperlink inside a button in asp.net

Question

I have a button on my asp.net page that (upon mouseover) needs to act like a hyperlink (the hand cursor). I cannot use a linkbutton because I need the GUI of a regular asp:button.

Is there a way to create the hyperlink cursor on mouseover?

Thanks

Answer 1

Using css you can say:

.anchor {cursor: pointer; cursor: hand;}

and then in your aspx:

<asp:Button CssClass="anchor" ... >

Answer 2

Use the following for the hand cursor on button mouse over:

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Click Me" CssClass="ButtonClass" />

The in a style sheet or inline in the page itself define the class:

.ButtonClass { cursor: pointer; cursor: hand; }

Use both (pointer and hand) for cross browser compatibility.

Answer 3

Add this into your button's markup...

style="cursor: pointer; cursor: hand;"

so...

<asp:Button id="test" text="test" runat="server" style="cursor: pointer; cursor: hand;" />
