How to change cursor and display hint over overlay button

[dorjee]

See the code of a button displayed in GE plugin map, I used with the
overlay method:

Now my question is:

1) How to change the mouse cursor when flying over the button?

2) How to display a hint (tooltip?) when the same (flying over
button)?

Thank you for suggestions and, above all, code example!!!

Is there really no solution? I can't believe it!-))

If you use screen overlays, then Im not sure. I dont know of a way,
but I've never really tried to find one.

If you use the iframe shim technique instead, then you're effectively
doing everything in html, and so you have complete control over the
cursor, and tooltips etc.

Thanks Mark. I tried iframe shim but it poses a display problem in
Firefox (see this topic:
http://groups.google.com/group/google-earth-browser-plugin/browse_thread/thread/59d3c1954e70d147?hl=en).
Nothing's perfect!

Thats a well known problem. I've described the solution in this forum
several times.

In FF, if the iframe is inserted into the DOM /before/ the earth
becomes visible for the first time, it doesnt work.

The easy fix is to just iterate over all your iframe shims (give them
a unique class, such as "ishim", so you can differentiate them from
other iframes if necessary), remove them from the dom, and reinsert
them right after showing the earth instance.
