Damn cursors...

Something that a co-worker pointed out to me today which I thought was really cool is the visual hint of html cursors. It's got lots of different properties like , , , , , , (mouse over the words to see what I am talking about).

Using the "pointer" cursor on a html label lets you know that it's clickable. As people know, I love html labels for widgets like radio buttons that can be difficult to target. I just love little helpful tips that add polish to an application. ;-)

  1. It would be nice if the browser would do this for you. The cursor should change when you go over a label to show you that it's clickable. Same thing goes for objects with an onclick attribute. I think it would help out the usability a lot, without putting the responsibility on the web developer to do all this stuff.
