According to CSS Cursor Property, it appears that the default setting for
cursorisautoand it lets the browser decide what is to be displayed when a user interacts with a checkbox. I guess there would be a “definitive standard” for each browser, so I guess there really isn’t a standard? Do whatever you’d like while keeping it reasonable (no text cursors, please!)Most checkboxes that I come across use the default cursor (but maybe that’s due to my use of Google Chrome).
