How to Change the Cursor into a Hand When Hovering Over a List Item

🖐️ Do you want to give your users a more interactive experience when they hover over a list item? 🖱️ Look no further! In this blog post, we'll tackle the common issue of changing the default text selection cursor into a hand pointer when users hover over a list item.

The Problem

The problem at hand (no pun intended) is that by default, when you hover over a list item, the cursor turns into a text selection pointer. This may not provide the desired user experience, especially if you want to visually indicate that the list item is clickable, just like a button.

The Solution

Fortunately, there's a simple solution to this problem, thanks to the power of CSS! 💪 All you need to do is add a bit of CSS to your code. Here's an example:

li:hover {
  cursor: pointer;
}

By adding this snippet of CSS, you are instructing the browser to change the cursor to a pointer (hand) when the user hovers over a list item. Easy as pie! 🥧

Example Implementation

To give you a better understanding, let's apply this solution to your current code snippet:

<ul>
  <li>foo</li>
  <li>goo</li>
</ul>
li:hover {
  cursor: pointer;
}

Now, when you hover over each list item, the cursor will magically transform into a hand cursor, indicating to users that they can click on it. ✨
