Dont Change Cursor in Image Map Question

1 Description

The mouse cursor changes its appearance when moving over a hidden section. This may give hints to the students to find out the correct answer. The mouse cursor should not change its appearance at all.
Some kind of graphical feedback should be supported to inform the student about the position he has submitted his mouse click and whether this click was successfull.

I don't think that it is necessary to implement this in any way. You can simply add the following code to your customized version of Modules/Test/templates/default/ta.css:

area {
	cursor: default;
}

This will force the cursor to have the default look but there is still the hyperlink shown in the status bar when you move the mouse over an area.

Weber, Jens [jens.weber], 30.12.2023: A simple workaround, for the time being, consists of adding an area that covers the whole image (or at least all of the other areas) as the last area in the list. By this the cursor is always displayed as 'pointing to clickable content'.
