cursor
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since December 2021.
The cursor attribute specifies the mouse cursor displayed when the mouse pointer is over an element.
Note: As a presentation attribute, cursor also has a CSS property counterpart: cursor. When both are specified, the CSS property takes priority.
