In internet explorer it is possible to use hand as mouse cursor using the following CSS code:

#idname
{
cursor:hand;
}

This code is very fine with internet explorer but it is not compatible with Mozilla Firefox because Firefox does not support the “hand” value of cursor property. If you want hand cursor in Firefox, you have to use the pointer as the value of cursor property. Code is:

#idname
{
cursor:pointer;
}

Some earlier versions of internet explorer does not support value “pointer”, so for the safe side you can include both properties:

#idname
{
cursor:hand;
cursor:pointer;
}
