How to change the cursor?

Question:

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

Answer:

Internet Explorer offers this since version 4 and Netscape since version 6. The relevant property is document.body.style.cursor.

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

Note:
IE 4 and 5 use the name 'hand' for the hand cursor, IE 6 and Netscape 6 call it 'pointer'.


	document.body.style.cursor = 'wait'; // this takes time // calculating something document.body.style.cursor = 'auto';
