Custom Cursors

When the user mouse over an element on the page, the mouse cursor changes to indicate what the user can (or cannot) do with that element.

The syntax for specifying a cursor property is shown below:
Syntax
selector { cursor: value; }
 
The cursor for any element can be set by using the css property "cursor".

Example Tag:
<div style="cursor: move;"> this is a move type cursor </div>

This result in:
this is a move type cursor

The table below shows the most common values used for the cursor property.
