I have an input form button when you hover your mouse over it the mouse pointer doesn't change orientation. How can I make a link specify to show the gloved mouse finger pointer?

A:
I found This interesting site about mouse pointer styling for you. Scroll down to pointer W3C.
cursor: pointer;
You can hover to test the ones you like and it indicates what browsers it works with.

A:
If the link is an anchor tag it should happen by default. You could use CSS to force it, and then it wouldn't matter what html tag it is.
<a href="/Blah.htm" style="cursor: hand;">Blah</a>

Drive-by-downvoters: he **did** provide an answer, and not unuseful. You might argue it's an innacurate and badly phrased one, but it's certainly much better than the question. :P

`cursor: hand` is discontinued and it only works in IE, Opera and nothing else.Therefore this would return a disappointing result as over half of the popular browsers wont work. The one that all browsers use today is `cursor: pointer;`. The only reason you should use it is if you want IE 5.5 and 5.0 to work.

I stand corrected - proves the importance of downvote-comments. :)

Thanks for the correction Jonathan. Old habits die hard, and "cursor:hand" its one of those habits that I need to get rid off. I do agree with sr-pt, the down vote makes a whole lot more sense once it is explained.
