Re: How to make on-clickable div text look clickable

James,

> do you have a preferred way of making that text look clickable?

As a reader ?   I would want to have it look like the real thing.  You know, 
underlined and with a certain color.

As a writer ?  I would probably use the "a" tag itself, setting the "href" 
property to "javascript:your_function()".  You know, letting the tag handle 
all the nitty-gritty of making the text look clickable.

Than again, I often go for the easiest solution (after having spend quite 
some time googeling and testing what the easiest solution might be :-) ).

In that case you will most likely confuse and (sooner rather than later) 
annoy the user, which expects a certain uniformity.

But you can ofcourse also go for Stefans suggsetion, and not change the text 
itself but putting it on a button.   Or maybe just a small button (with the 
letter "A" - for Answer - in it) at the end of the question.
