CSS Help: CURSOR Property

CSS solves a number of lingering HTML formating and style problems. Sometimes called style sheets, CSS can (and should) be used to control as much of the visual formating aspect of a website as possible. For example, instead of using <FONT> tags to achieve text formating, apply colors, font-family, size and a plethora of other properties through CSS style rules.

Style rules, or classes can be defined for HTML tags which exist (such as H1 for example) or can be created for special differentiation (such as .MYCLASS) and applied to HTML through a tag's class property (such as <table class="MYCLASS">). More information about CSS here.

Here is a table of cursors available through the CSS Cursor property. If your browser supports it, you can simply click the cursor style you want to use and the code for including it in a class definition will be copied to your computer's clipboard. You can simply paste it in your code where it applies.

Tip: Cursor Gadget is a portable tool which can be used without a connection to the Internet to pick and choose cursor styles for any project you might be working on. You can use it where it lives on the web during your own development, or download it and tweak to suite your needs. View the source of cursor-gadget.js for additional info.
