change cursor for Internet Explorer

Hi all,

I would like to change the cursor for an svg element. I have added cursor = "pointer". It worked in Firefox but no changes in internet explorer. How to implement the same in IE.

Example:

<path id="Bark_color" fill="#CC6633" stroke="#7F7F7F" stroke-width="0.0762" d="M53.2445 65.3587c-1.2046,33.7008 -2.2673,94.6301 -2.3701,108.647 -4.4777,0.0497 -33.5805,-0.0814 -36.5016,-0.0292 12.3707,-25.0294 22.6661,-65.0785 32.6678,-108.029 2.9474,-7.9144 5.2534,-2.9172 6.2039,-0.5894z" onclick="parent.showquest('Bark_color')" cursor="pointer">

Thanks

To provide pointer cursor, I have added tag before the path tag and it is working fine in IE.
