This is a quick reference chart CSS cursor styles. I made it a number of years ago, but still find it occasionally useful.
Style Value | Demo | Image | CSS2 | IE6 | Moz | Firefox | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
all-scroll | IE6+ | ||||||
auto | Default for current context | ||||||
col-resize | IE6+ | ||||||
crosshair | QQQ | XOR'd with background color | |||||
default | |||||||
hand | |||||||
help | |||||||
move | |||||||
no-drop | IE6+ | ||||||
not-allowed | IE6+ | ||||||
pointer | |||||||
progress | IE6+ | ||||||
row-resize | IE6+ | ||||||
text | |||||||
vertical-text | IE6+ | ||||||
wait | |||||||
n-resize | |||||||
ne-resize | |||||||
e-resize | |||||||
se-resize | |||||||
s-resize | |||||||
sw-resize | |||||||
w-resize | |||||||
nw-resize | |||||||
url(url) | IE6+ but standard | ||||||
IE6+ but standard |
In IE6+ you can also specify a custom cursor with cursor: url(url) to load in a Windows-format .CUR or .ANI file.
Note there was a bug in Apache 1.3 that prevented serving ANI cursor files if mod_mime_magic was in use.
