How to change the cursor?




Is it possible to select a certain cursor (e.g. the hour glass) for a web page?


Internet Explorer offers this since version 4 and Netscape since version 6. The relevant property is

You can script it as shown in the example or make it part of a CSS (makes less sense in my opinion).

IE 4 and 5 use the name 'hand' for the hand cursor, IE 6 and Netscape 6 call it 'pointer'
. = 'wait';

// this takes time
// calculating something = 'auto';
