What are the most popular CSS Cursor types?

CSS cursors come in a variety of types, each with its unique design and function. The following are some of the most commonly used CSS cursors:

1. Default Cursor: The default cursor is the standard arrow pointer that appears when the mouse is not interacting with any element on the web page.

2. Text Cursor:  The text cursor is a vertical line that appears when hovering over a text-based element such as a text box or input field.

3. Pointer Cursor:

   The pointer cursor is a hand-shaped cursor that appears when hovering over a clickable element such as a hyperlink or button.

4. Move Cursor:

   The move cursor is a cross-shaped cursor that appears when hovering over an element that can be moved, such as an image or a div.

5. Wait Cursor:

   The wait cursor is an hourglass or spinning circle that appears when the web page is loading or performing a task that requires the user to wait.

6. Help Cursor:

   The help cursor is a question mark that appears when the user hovers over an element that provides assistance or information.

7. Not-allowed Cursor:

   The not-allowed cursor is a circle with a line through it that appears when the user hovers over an element that is disabled or cannot be interacted with.

How to set CSS cursor:

CSS cursors can be set using the "cursor" property in CSS. To use a specific cursor, simply specify the cursor type in the "cursor" property. For example, to set the pointer cursor, use the following code:

button { cursor: pointer; }

How to set custom CSS cursor?

This code sets the pointer cursor for all buttons on the web page. To set a custom cursor, such as an image, you can use the "url" function in CSS. Example:

button{ cursor: url('my.custom-cursor.png'), pointer; }

pointer will be fallback if image file is missing or takes long time to load
