Adding onmouseover cursor for an image

Okay, I have a very subtle 'back button' on each page.

<img src="img/back.png" border="0" align="right" alt="Back" onclick="history.go (-1)" />
'

My problem is that my back button blends in a little too well as there is no indication when the mouse moves over it that it is anything other than decoration (other than it is in the shape of an arrow.) I've tried adding an onmouseover cursor effect, but I can't seem to get it to work in any combination. (I even tried adding it to the CSS for the page, and while it works for the links, it doesn't work on the back button.)

Any suggestions for getting around this? (Please don't suggest a more obvious back button - I've already butted heads with the persons I'm designing for over the back button issue. And if it HAS to be there, I want it to at least look like it DOES something.)

Thanks Smiling

Thanks, Busy - you're a beaut!

I knew it had to be something pretty basic. I always forget that adding is an option. Smiling
