<title> How to the cursor so that it is rendered as a crosshair</title><!-- Sets the title of the HTML document -->
</head>
<style class="text/css"> /* Begins the CSS styling block */
span{ /* Selects all <span> elements */
  cursor:crosshair; /* Sets the cursor to be rendered as a crosshair */
  }
</style><!-- Ends the CSS styling block -->
<body>
<span>Mouse over this to view</span><!-- Creates a <span> element with text -->
</body>
</html>
