area { cursor: auto; } might work.

but I don't want auto. I want arrow everywhere except A and AREA. I don't
like this line-like cursor apearing over text.

Not sure what you mean by "script" here.

That's "pointer" for those relying on the css spec.

Remove the cursor property from your stylesheet.

Then change it in your browser. Is that what you're trying to do? Is
this in a user stylesheet? Or in an author stylesheet for your web
page/site?

Not liking it is insufficient reason to change it. Usability for your
visitors is of primary concern. The I-beam cursor over text is useful to
users, and only remove this if you really have an excellent reason why. "I
don't like it" is not an excellent reason.

That said, the cursor property is what you need to read up on.
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/ui.html#propdef-cursor Decide what you want and
set it. Example: at end of your style declarations:

* {cursor: arrow}
area, a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a:active {cursor: pointer}

There is no such value for cursor in CSS 2.

My mistake. Substitute "default".
