SVG Attribute reference home

The cursor attribute specifies the mouse cursor displayed when the mouse pointer is over an element.

This attribute behaves exactly like the {{ cssxref("cursor","CSS cursor") }} property except that if the browser supports the {{ SVGElement("cursor") }} element, you should be able to use it with the <funciri> notation.

As a presentation attribute, it also can be used as a property directly inside a CSS stylesheet, see {{ cssxref("cursor","CSS cursor") }} for further information.
