Is it possible to remove the hand cursor that appears when hovering over a link? (or keep it set as the normal pointer)
That's exactly what cursor: pointer;
is supposed to do.
If you want the cursor to remain normal, you should be using cursor: default
Using inline styling use <a href="your link here" style="cursor:default">your content here</a>
.
See this example
Alternatively use css. See this example.
This solution is cross-browser compatible.
Try this
To Remove Hand Cursor
a.link {
cursor: default;
}
