Answer 2

Use cursor:pointer only, unless you need to support IE 5/5.5 in which case, include cursor:hand in a conditional comment.

Answer 3

Your can use blow css class for all browser supports.
Note that IE5 and IE5.5 use cursor: hand instead of cursor: pointer

.cursor-pointer{   
   cursor: pointer;   
   _cursor: hand; /* apply to ie 6 and below */
}

You can use here to write your stylesheets for different IE versions.

Answer 4

You can also use your own custom cursor image:

.selecty { cursor: url(your_cursor.cur) }

This is especially useful for specifying cursors for draggable items. The standard browser cursors are pretty unintuitive for letting the user know a drag is possible.
