Hi there,

This is something that bugs me and I'm unsure if it's just how it is, or my setting up of this.

See on this test site: hidden link

The hero search bar: When you hover or click one of the drop-down fields there is no pointer...why is this?

Also, see when you do select, is there a way I can change the blue highlight? Really don't like it.

Many thanks in advance.

Pete

Hi Pete,

This issue seems to be caused by some custom code. I remember when I assisted with this site, this issue was not present.

Could you try removing any custom css that is applied to the filter and see if the issue still remains ?

Thanks,
Shane

Hey Shane,

To be fair I have never seen the pointer work and just forgot about it, however now we're nearing the end of this sidte design I'm going over all the small bits.

Taken all the additional styling CSS from the view, there's still no point. Check it out and see.

Hi Pete,

I took another detailed look at the issue and found that the problem is coming from the elementor container with the F in it. See Screenshot

The boundaries of the letter is overflowing into the dropdown options which is causing the issue. Based on this I see it only affecting the Guests and Pets filter but no the destination filter.

Removing the F from the page would resolve the issue as i've tested this.

Hopefully this clears it up for you.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

We we knew of the absolute settings in the F, that we can fix using negative margins.

Ok, check it out: hidden link

Lower down to demonstrate the issue still exists, no F.

When you hover over the drop-down fields still no pointer. You get this when you hover over the search button but never have had this over the fields. Why?

Thanks, P

Hi Pete,

Have a look at the screencast below.

I'm not experiencing this issue. The pointers are behaving as they should.

Thanks,
Shane

Ok am I expecting something that wont happen here?

See when you hover over the button? You get the hand to point and click, on this we don't.

I was on Apple the other day and this reminded me of the issue, their drop-downs as do many other sites, have the hand pointer.

Toolset...no?

Thank you.

Hi Pete,

Take a look here
hidden link

Select dropdowns do not get the finger pointer, only buttons will get this.

Unless you use some form of custom code to change this then the pointer will look like this.

The pointer is generated by the Operating system so different OS my generate a different pointer for the same element.

Thanks,
Shane

How odd that I noticed this over the weekend on another site and this reminded me of this.

To be fair I didn't know this. Really sorry to take up your time on something that is standard and my lack of understanding in this is obvious. I just thought the hand pointer 'was' standard.

Appears not to be the case.

Again sorry for this and appreciate your time as always 🙂

Have a good evening. Regards, Pete
