Some of you may not know, that you can use CSS to change the mouse cursor when someone places their mouse over a tag.
Check out this simple example:
<a href=”helpPage.html” style="cursor: help"> Help </a>
In the above example, I used the ‘help’ cursor to give people an extra clue that the link will take them to a help page.
The key to making this work is this line:
style="cursor: help"
The above CSS code is telling the browser to use the built in ‘help’ cursor.
You can find the list of cursor types available on my
HTML tags page.
I would also suggest that you look into the following:
- CSS and CSS-P based design.
