A Cursor is the pointer that indicates where your mouse is located or pointing at so that you know where you are about to add/change the text.

This indicator can have its appearance changed a little if you want to bring attention to specific text or to a specific area when the cursor moved over the text/area.

Step by step Edit

In order to change the look of the cursor you will have to do is surround the text/area, you wish to have a new look, with span tags containing the parameter style="cursor: <cursor-style>;", like this:

<span style="cursor: help;">Mouse-over me to see the cursor!</span>

This results in:

Mouse-over me to see the cursor!

Additional styles Edit

1. style="cursor:auto;", style="cursor:default;" or style="cursor:text;" will produce this:
