If you want to make any element appear that it is clickable like a button or anchor tag.

Set the cursor on that object to pointer. Note that you do not need the :hover modifier for this work.

Here the hover behavior is set to change the text color on hover.

  • HTML: 
      <p class="my-class ">My text</p>
  • CSS: 
      .my-class {
    cursor: pointer;
    color: blue;
  }
    
  .my-class:hover {
    color: purple;
  }
