Changing cursor type

cursor: value;

(opens new window)

Examples:

Value	Description
none	No cursor is rendered for the element
auto	Default. The browser sets a cursor
help	The cursor indicates that help is available
wait	The cursor indicates that the program is busy
move	The cursor indicates something is to be moved
pointer	The cursor is a pointer and indicates a link

pointer-events

The pointer-events property allows for control over how HTML elements respond to mouse/touch events.

.disabled {
  pointer-events: none;
}

In this example,

'none' prevents all click, state and cursor options on the specified HTML element [[1]]

Other valid values for HTMl elements are:

• auto;
• inherit.
