The cursor attribute does not require the hover pseudo-class. You can specify it in the hover pseudo-class, but you will get the same result.

Hi Jason, thankyou for the response, but how do the element know then it is only to hover or just change the cursor for the specific Box, as in, in which the button is placed in like <input> tag box

Since it's a CSS style element, it will be determined by the CSS selector rule you specify.
