When you programmatically make text clickable by adding a click-event 
listener do you have a preferred way of making that text look clickable?

I found that browsers don't change the appearance of the text, by default.

I guess I could go to the trouble of changing styling specifically for 
the div text and maybe for mouseover events etc. But I wonder if there's 
an easier way to do this. Or, failing that, a recommended set of styling 
settings.

I should say I am not sure it would be good to use /all/ the browser's 
default formatting for this case. For example, it may be best not to use 
underlining. Not sure yet. But I do want the clickable div texts to look 
clickable, as opposed to looking like plain text, and I wondered if you 
guys knew of or had a preferred way of doing so. I guess this is a 
common situation.

Ideas welcome.
