How do I create my own cursor image?

Question

I have a website and I want to create my own unique cursor.
I want it to be an image I make in Photoshop.
How do I create the code for my own cursor ?

Answer 1

First, you have to create a (16x16 pixel) .cur file in Photoshop...and upload it to your website. Then use CSS for the area on which the cursor is to be active:
cursor: url("my.cur"),auto;
where "auto" lets the default cursor appear if your created cursor file can't be found...a wise and prudent way to phrase your css statement
