Hide the Cursor in a Webpage using CSS and JavaScript

Last Updated : 17 Oct, 2024

Hiding the cursor on a webpage means making the mouse pointer invisible while interacting with certain elements. This can be achieved using CSS and JavaScript. In CSS, you can use cursor: none; and in JavaScript, dynamically manipulate the element's style for more control.

Hiding the Cursor Using cursor Property

In this approach, CSS hides the cursor with the cursor: none;. JavaScript dynamically adds this class to specific elements (like a div or body). When the button is clicked, it triggers cursor invisibility and updates a message.

Examples of Hiding the Cursor from Webpage

Example 1: Here we hides the cursor over a div element using CSS (cursor: none;). When a button is clicked, JavaScript adds the class to hide the cursor and updates a message.

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <title>
        Hide the cursor in a webpage
        using CSS and JavaScript
    </title>

    <style>
        body {
            text-align: center;
        }

        #GFG_DIV {
            background: green;
            height: 100px;
            width: 200px;
            margin: auto;
            color: white;
        }

        /* CSS style to hide cursor element */
        .newClass {
            cursor: none;
        }
    </style>
</head>

<body>
    <h1 style="color:green;">

    </h1>

    <h3>
        Click on Button to Hide the Cursor from DIV
    </h3>

    <div id="GFG_DIV"></div>
    <br>

    <button onClick="GFG_Fun()">
        Click Here
    </button>

    <p id="GFG"></p>

    <!-- Script to hide cursor element -->
    <script>
        let elm = document.getElementById('GFG');
        let div = document.getElementById('GFG_DIV');

        /* Function to add class name to hide
           cursor element */
        function GFG_Fun() {
            div.classList.add("newClass");
            down.innerHTML = "Cursor is removed from DIV!";
        }
    </script>
</body>

</html>

Output:

hide-cursor-from-webpage — hides the cursor over a div element

Example 2: Here we hides the cursor across the entire webpage by adding the cursor: none; class to the body when a button is clicked. A message updates to confirm the action.

            height: 100px;
            width: 200px;
            margin: 0 auto;
            color: white;
        }

        /* CSS style to hide cursor element */
