Go to Exercise page

Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Specifies the document type and version of HTML -->
<html>
<head>
<title> How to create a custom cursor by means of a comma separated list of URLs</title><!-- Sets the title of the HTML document -->
</head>
<style class="text/css"> /* Begins the CSS styling block */
span{ /* Selects all <span> elements */
cursor:url("https://www.w3resource.com/images/favicon.png"),auto; /* Sets the cursor to a custom image specified by the URL, with a fallback to the default cursor */
}
</style><!-- Ends the CSS styling block -->
<body>
<span>Mouse over this to view</span><!-- Creates a <span> element with text -->
</body>
</html>

Explanation:

  • This HTML document sets the cursor style for a <span> element to a custom image specified by the URL "https://www.w3resource.com/images/favicon.png".
  • If the custom cursor image is not available or cannot be loaded, the cursor will default to the auto cursor style.
