I have a JavaScript webapp where the user needs to grab the background to move the whole screen around. So I want the cursor to change when they're hovering over the background. The -moz-grab and -moz-grabbing CSS cursors are ideal for this. Of course, they only work in Firefox... are there equivalent cursors for other browsers? Do I have to do something a little more custom than standard CSS cursors?
Answer
In case anyone else stumbles across this question, this is probably what you were looking for:
.grabbable {
cursor: move; /* fallback if grab cursor is unsupported */
cursor: grab;
cursor: -moz-grab;
cursor: -webkit-grab;
}
/* (Optional) Apply a "closed-hand" cursor during drag operation. */
.grabbable:active {
cursor: grabbing;
cursor: -moz-grabbing;
cursor: -webkit-grabbing;
}
