HTML Cursor Code

The cursor is the thing that moves when you move the mouse. To change the look of the cursor within your HTML codes, you need to use CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).

Example Cursor Code


<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.help { cursor: help }
.pointer { cursor: pointer }
.wait { cursor: wait }
.crosshair { cursor: crosshair }
.move { cursor: move }
.smile { cursor:url(http://www.quackit.com/pix/smile.gif),auto }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>(Hover over each heading to see the cursor effect).</p>
<h3 class="help">HTML cursor codes - "Help"</h3>
<h3 class="pointer">HTML cursor codes - "Pointer"</h3>
<h3 class="wait">HTML cursor codes - "Wait"</h3>
<h3 class="crosshair">HTML cursor codes - "Crosshair"</h3>
<h3 class="move">HTML cursor codes - "Move"</h3>
<h3 class="smile">HTML cursor codes - "Smile"</h3>
</body>

This code results in:
