*** SOLVED *** question about event link

Hi everybody
is there an easy way to turn the mouse pointer icon with a "hand pointer" (common web icon when we click on a link) when i create an event within an object (a shape for instance)?
suppose i create this:
Event: onclick
Action: link
Target: xxx.xxx.com
i know this is possible to do with the
Style Manager and assign the hand pointer (or other icon) css style to the event as i see it the only way for doing it now...
any ideas?

You can add this code to the 'Custom Style' section

@Pablo, one last question:
inside the event window it doesn't let me choose the target window [ex: _blank), do i have to put the code in the HTML object by myself?
thank you

If you are adding a link to the shape, why not just use the normal link option which allows you to set the target?
I'm not sure that it is possible to set target=_blank with an event with the code being generated.

@mary
Use the following for the event
In Page HTML Insert between <body></body>
Code: Select all
<script>
function openBlank() {
window.open('https://www.yourlinkurlhere.com/', '_blank');
}
</script>

Hi Crispy, i know what you mean, but in this case it's because of the shape clip-path thing i posted the other day, for instance, if i have a shape like a star, polygon, circle, etc, i just want it to be clickable inside the vertices and edges of the shape itself regardless of what that shape looks like. This can only be possible using the
Events. The other common way lets me click inside and outsde the shape (not what i want to do).
BaconFries gave me the code, but i thank you too for the reply!

@BaconFries, that will do the trick! Thank you.
