incorrect mousepointer while moving over head of sortable list

[anneschneider]

Hi,

when you want a list (any kind) to be sorted by a special feature (date, title, etc.) and move the pointer of your mouse over the head of the list, the pointer switches to the text insert mode instead of the link mode. This is not intuitive. Although after a click the sorting order changes.

Limi will fix.

Fixed in SVN (or Plone 2.1 RC).

Not all lists are sortable, and it's wrong to show the pointer cursor on a list that is not.

The correct approach is to let the Javascript handle this by setting that property on the table header if sortability applies.

Sorry. I was under the impression that all tables with class set to 'listing' are sortable.

The following patch should be better:

check that the columns does not have class="nosort" if (!xre.exec(node.className)) {

node.insertBefore(blankarrow.cloneNode(1), node.firstChild);

+ node.style.cursor = 'pointer';

if (!initialsort) {

initialsort = true; uparrow = document.createElement('img');

Excellent, thanks.

Committed to SVN.
