Change map cursor when over a feature

StevenPaplanus — Mon, 24 Oct 2016 23:39:13 GMT

I have a web map where I have a base layer with the states, and a feature layer with several dozen polygons. I have set the identity function (which for this app is always on for a single click) to use the feature layer. I am wondering if it is possible to detect when there is a feature that the cursor is going over, and then change it to indicate there is data on it, and when the user moves off of the feature, and there is nothing there, it changes back to the default cursor.

Steven,

Sure here is a sample that shows that:

Just what I needed. As someone who is constantly learning new Javascript stuff and API hacks at the same time, I was playing with ...

document.getElementById("myElement").style.cursor = "<pointer-style>";‍‍‍

But the above did the trick for me!
