I tried it and it doesn't work with Firefox 0.8 (the successor of Firebird 0.7),
and I don't think cursor is even a CSS property, since it's not listed in the
CSS references that I checked.  I also doesn't change the status bar like real
HTML hyperlinks do (although I could do that, with much coding, with mouseover
events).

I think the real solution is to use

     <a... href="javascript: myfunc()...

instead of

     <a... onclick="myfunc()...

I'm gonna go ahead and do this, but if anybody knows of side-effects of this
(like does it generate an extra GET or something, since it's an href), pls
reply to save me some time.
