CSS can be used to display different mouse cursor icons.
This short article will show how to change the mouse cursor icons. Below is a list of the most commonly accepted cursors:
default – Display the normal mouse cursor icon
wait – The mouse icon to represent the computer “thinking”
crosshair – A crosshair reticle
text – An “I” shaped icon that is displayed when selecting text
pointer – A hand icon that you see when you hover over an HTML link
help – A question mark
Rolling over the text on this page display the described cursor style.
Cursor code
Here is the CSS I used when compiling this site:
h5
{
font-size: 100%;
cursor: help;
}
As you can see any element given the h5 tag will display the mouse icon as a question mark when rolling over it.
