Values

<uri>

The user agent retrieves the cursor from the resource designated by the URI. If the user agent cannot handle the first cursor of a list of cursors, it must attempt to handle the second, etc. If the user agent cannot handle any user-defined cursor, it must use the cursor keyword at the end of the list. The optional <x> and <y> coordinates identify the exact position within the image which is the pointer position (i.e., the hotspot).

<x>

The x-coordinate of the position in the cursor's coordinate system (left/top relative) which represents the precise position that is being pointed to.

<y>

The y-coordinate of the position in the cursor's coordinate system (left/top relative) which represents the precise position that is being pointed to.

<system>

System cursor.

User agents may automatically display a horizontal I-beam/cursor (e.g. same as the vertical-text keyword) for vertical text, or for that matter, any angle of I-beam/cursor for text that is rendered at any particular angle.
vertical-text	Indicates vertical-text that may be selected. Often rendered as a horizontal I-beam.
wait	Indicates that the program is busy and the user should wait. Often rendered as a watch or hourglass.
n-resize	Indicates that the north edge is to be moved.
w-resize	Indicates that the west edge is to be moved.
s-resize	Indicates that the south edge is to be moved.
