It generates the "This is a link" indicator, which just happens to be
a hand in most browsers.
... and I just tested in IE 6, and it doesn't give the standard cursor
when you do as I described in my previous email. Since its possible I
wasn't clear in that explanation, I'll explain again with examples.
div:hover { cursor: pointer; }
means "When the mouse is over a div that the mouse is over, change the
cursor."
div { cursor: pointer; }
means "When the mouse is over a div, change the cursor."
The :hover in the first example is redundant and causes the selector
to fail in IE 6. The second example works fine.
