CSS Cursors
Changing The Mouse Cursor

There are three ways to change the cursor on a Web page: plug-ins, CSS, or JavaScript. While a plug-in should provide the highest degree of cross-browser compatibhility, most people aren't going to download and install a plug-in. I think the best solution is to use CSS, but it won't work with NS 4.x and not all cursors work with NS 6+. Move your cursor over the following lines and see how it changes:

Place your cursor over this text: crosshair cursor.

Code: <FONT style="cursor: crosshair">Place your cursor over this text: crosshair cursor</FONT>

Place your cursor over this text: pointer cursor

Code: <FONT style="cursor: pointer}">Place your cursor over this text: pointer cursor</FONT>

Place your cursor over this text: text cursor

Code: <FONT style="cursor: text">Place your cursor over this text: text cursor</FONT>

Place your cursor over this text: hourglass cursor

Code: <FONT style="cursor: wait">Place your cursor over this text: hourglass cursor</FONT>

Place your cursor over this text: help cursor

Code: <FONT style="cursor: help">Place your cursor over this text: help cursor</FONT>
