How to change the cursor?

 

commentsThis article has not been rated yet. After reading, feel free to leave comments and rate it.

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';
