Changing the Cursor
Did you know that you can change the cursor using CSS? Well, you can. It's easy, fun, but make sure you use it sparingly - visitors don't like it when you make it so whenever the cursor travels over the page it shows an hourglass :). You you probably get hundreds of restarts from your site. ;)
I will use a useful example to show you what it does. For example, what if I have a button that says help, and I want a question mark over it. Easy! Add this to your anchor tag.
<A HREF="tutorials_cursor.html" style="cursor: help">Help</a> |
This is what it does: Help. Nifty huh? You can also use embeded style sheets to apply this effect to all of your links. In this example, I will make them all crosshairs.
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
A {cursor: crosshair;}
</STYLE>
|
Now all of your links on the page will work with it. This is what it does: Link. You could even go as far as to add this to your external style sheet! Here is a list of all of the settings you could have.
There you go, easy huh? Now go have fun, but don't overuse it. :)
