Make a html element appear clickable with JQuery / JS

Is it possible to make an html element appear clickable with JQuery?

By appear clickable I mean have the mouse pointer change appearance when the user hovers over the the element.

I dont want to use a tag.

Set the style of the element to:

#elementId {
    cursor:pointer;
}

You could do it with jQuery, but not sure why you'd want to? Here 'tis:

$(this).css("cursor", "pointer");

Use the following code:

jQuery('myelement').css("cursor", "pointer");

This can also be done in pure CSS with cursor:pointer.

You don't do this with Javascript, you do it with CSS:

.whatever {
    cursor: pointer;
}

You could do the same thing with jQuery if you really wanted, but all you're really doing is setting up the style:

$(".whatever").css("cursor", "pointer");

You use the CSS cursor property for this. Directly with CSS:

#id { cursor: pointer; }

Or with jQuery using css():

$("#id").css("cursor", "pointer");

Or with Javascript:

document.getElementById("id").style.cursor = "pointer";
