Info Window is disabled when navigation toolbar is activated

Hello all;
I have this issue:
when ever a I activate the navigation toolbar; graphics info template stops to show up when I click on them, I resolved this partially by deactivating the toolbar on map click, but I need it to still be working while the info window is still working also.

any ideas?

This is expected. When you activate a tool from a navigation toolbar, you put your map in navigation mode. If you always want a click to result in an infoWindow showing up, don't use a nav toolbar. Instead, educate your users as to how to navigate using the map's built in shortcuts: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jshelp/intro_navigation.htm

That is what I have already done, I thought since the application is targeting public users, the navigation bar is not recommended.

I would recommend you provide some navigation panel that can be used by public users.
and is it possible to change the cursor of the graphic?

Thanks.

Despite the name, the navigation toolbar doesn't actually have to be a traditional toolbar. You can wire it up to any UI elements you wish. The sample we provide just happens to use it in the traditional toolbar sense.

Regarding "cursor of the graphic" ... if I understand correctly, you want map.setMapCursor().
