Cross-browser 'cursor:pointer'

css

Solution

According to Quirksmode, the only cross-browser syntax is:

element {
    cursor: pointer;
    cursor: hand;
}

They give some more information about the cursor as well:

In the past the hand value was Microsoft's way of saying pointer; and IE 5.0 and 5.5 only support hand. Because it's the cursor value that's used most often, most other browsers have also implemented hand.

Since IE 6 and 7 support pointer, there's no more reason to use hand, except when older IEs are part of your target audience.

I think the page you linked to might be a little outdated with the newest browsers.

Problem

I found these CSS attributes, that make the cursor look like a hand: - IE - style="cursor: hand;" - NS6/ IE6 - style="cursor: pointer;" - Cross Browser - style="cursor: pointer; cursor: hand;" However I notice that Stack Overflow is using "cursor: pointer" in its CSS. However, this apparently work also on IE. So ... what gives? What is the correct, browser-independent way to use this CSS item?
