[sedigh mohseni]

hi

would you please consider bottom table at http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/prop_style_cursor.asp url that consist of valid vlaue for cursor property.

does auto value for cursor property mean that browser determind cursor based on type of the content or position of mouse poiter for example on text , that is converted to I and etc?

so what is default value for this property?
does that mean in each browser we have a default cursor and type of default cursor is diffrent between browsers?

thanks alot for your help.

not (necessarily) in every browser, but in every system (OS) as the curser is a OS thingy. (think of the different themes you can choose or skin your windows)

okay, do you mean default value for cursor property comes from default cursor in os or skin that we use current time?

and what do you think about auto value for this property , is that right that browser determind suitable cursor based on element that is under to mouse poiner for example for link element (a tag) when mouseover event occur mouse pointer convert to hand.
thanks alot.
