I made a marquee a hyperlink and I can not get the
pointing finger to show up. The hyperlink works but
people are not aware it is a hyperlink since the normal
pointing finger does not show up when one passes over it.
What do I do?

Thank you,

Here are some suggestions:

o Put a "click here" message just above the marguee.
o Use an animaged GIF rather than the marquee.
o Use a Flash movie rather than the marquee.
o Use a text hyperlink and use JavaScript/DHTML
to roll the contents.
o Draw attention to this link some other way.
o Add a style= attribute to your <marquee> tag, as in:
<marquee style="cursorointer;">Rolling, rolling,
rolling...</marquee>

Why do I mention this final option last? I'm not a big fan
of marquees.
