It took me ages to track down and cure this problem and one of the avenues that I investigated during this process was CSS cursor properties. I eventually found that the problem was caused by the browsers mouse event handlers not resetting the cursor under certain circumstances and that CSS cursor properpies neither caused or cured this problem. This first example demonstrates how we can change the cursor style when the curser moves onto or off an image. We have borrowed an image of the boy King Tutankhamen's death mask from the Dynamic HTML section. Our Second Example Suppose for the sake of this second example we wanted a different style of cursor for each of the three paragraphs of lorem ipsum that are displayed below.
Lets start with a demonstration and then explain the CSS scripting following the demonstration.
When hovering over text the cursor would normally be a text style cursor for all three paragraphs so we won't include a text style cursor in this demonstration.
