Here are some little bits of HTML CODE that I like.

What is JavaScript ?  

The HTML/CSS code you enter here will be reflected live below.
Go ahead and enter something.

<A HREF="#" style="cursor:crosshair">A Cross Link</A>

This would give us the following link, move your mouse over it to try it out:

A Cross Link

You can do it over text as well. You can define a class or just drop it inline with a span tag:

<span style="cursor:wait">Should You Wait for This?</span>

This will give us the old hourglass as if we are waiting on something when we mouse over the text.
Try it out below:

Should You Wait for This?

There are some other cursor types as well. Here is a list of the other types of cursors you can use, move your mouse over the text on the right side to see the example:

What ?

"Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum."
