14 Change the cursor

CSS allows you to change the cursor in newer browser. Unfortunately, this is implemented very differently across different browsers. IE 6 allows to display your own cursors. For designs that should work in different browsers, you should stick to the standard cursors. Safari currently has only flaky support for cursor styles. To change the cursor, it is sufficient to set a CSS property, not only on links, but on text or images too.

h1, p{ 
cursor: help; 
} 
<p>Click here to get help </p>
