CSS Cursors
With style sheets, you can change the cursor when the mouse moves over a certain area or over a link. The command is just:
cursor:type
Where we will replace “type” with the type of cursor we want. So, let’s say we want a crosshair (looks like a cross) when someone moves over a link. We just add the style=”cursor:crosshair” attribute to the link tag:
<A href="#" style="cursor:crosshair">A Cross Link</A>
This would give us the following link, move your mouse over it to try it out:
Here are some other cursor types:
auto Shows it according to how the viewer has it set (plain)
crosshair Looks like a cross
default Makes the cursor stay the same
move Looks like you should be moving something
hand The hand you usually see over links
help A question mark beside the arrow
text The bar you see when the mouse is over text
wait The “waiting” hourglass!
