  • "cardinal" : a four-pointed arrow pointing up, down, right, and left.
  • "horizontal" : a double-pointed arrow pointing right and left.
  • "vertical" : a double-pointed arrow pointing up and down.
  • "leftdiagonal" : a double-pointed arrow pointing topright down to the left.
  • "rightdiagonal" :a double-pointed arrow pointing topleft down to the right.
  • "up" : an arrow pointing up.
  • "wait" : a hourglass cursor.

The window.cursor property affects only the window client area. The title bar and borders are not affected.
