How do I style a span to look like a link without using javascript?

Question

For my website I will need to use instead of , because I am using mostly ajax and thus instead of links I have onclick ajax event

Answer 1

You can change the cursor to a pointer by specifying the cursor: pointer CSS rule.

You can also use tags instead of , in fact they can behave nicer with screen readers and other similar devices. You don't need to leave out the href attribute if you use the preventDefault() and stopPropagation() JavaScript functions in the onClick handler. This way you can retain some level of backward compatibility with non-JS enabled browsers.
