Help! My Cursor Won't Change to Pointer - What Could Be Wrong?

Asked by CuriousCoder42
I've spent way too much time trying to figure out why the CSS style `cursor: pointer;` isn't working on my website. I even checked some examples on W3Schools, but they didn't work for me either. I asked a friend to check my site and they said everything displayed fine for them. I'm running a Mac with Tahoe 26.0.1 and have tried viewing it on four different browsers. Any ideas on what might be causing this issue?

It sounds like your Mac might not be responding to cursor changes unless the window is focused. I've found that it can behave oddly sometimes. Try restarting your device; that often does the trick!

EagerDeveloper99: I just had a problem like this! Restarting my Mac totally fixed it. I didnโ€™t realize that how a website displays can rely on more than just the browser.
