Cursor styles

Note on pointer and hand

In the past the hand value was Microsoft's way of saying pointer; and Explorer 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 Explorer 6 and 7 support pointer, there's no more reason to use hand, except when older Explorers are part of your target audience. In that case, the only cross-browser syntax is:

element {
cursor: pointer;
cursor: hand;
}

Note that the two declarations must be in this order.
