Cursor Style in SAPUI5

Hi Experts,

Is there a way in SPUI5 to change the cursor style when the cursor  hovers over certain controls? For example. in JavaScript it is something like this:

function setCursorByID(id,cursorStyle) {

var elem;

if (document.getElementById &&

    (elem=document.getElementById(id)) ) {

  if (elem.style) elem.style.cursor=cursorStyle;

}

}

or in CSS

<span style="cursor:help">help</span><br>

However, I could not get it working, either by applying the CSS approach in the FormattedTextView control or replicating the JavaScript logic. Would someone help me with this, please?

Regards
