detect cursor type

Question

I want JavaScript code to detect the cursor type.

For example when the cursor hovers in textarea it changes from default to text ..

Answer 1

You could do this, but its not pretty, and will probably be quite slow depending on how many elements you have on your page.

$('*').mouseenter(function(){
    var currentCursor = $(this).css('cursor') ;

    //do what you want here, i.e.
    console.log( currentCursor );
});
