CSS can control the appearance of a cursor. The cursor property specifies the mouse cursor to be displayed when pointing over an element.The cursor property in CSS controls what the mouse cursor will look like when it is located over the element in which this property is set. Obviously, it only is relevant in browsers/operating systems in which there is a mouse and cursor.
