<BODY style="cursor:move">


Copy and paste this into a new file to see it work.  Do you want the cursor to always be an hourglass, or do you want it to change when something happens?

<html>
<head>
<title>untitled</title>
<style type="text/css">
     .cursor     {cursor: wait;}
</style>
</head>
</body>
<table border="1" width="100%">
     <tr>
     <td class="cursor">Wait (Hourglass) Cursor</td>
     </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Can you tell me the regular(arrow) icon ?
cursor:default

also see :

http://www.ncdesign.org/html/s060oth.htm

search for cursor.
can I use this style to modify the icon :

document........cursor = "wait";

????

Because When I hit a button, the mouse icon should be changed for about 5 seconds, then it will change it back !
yes , use document.all.objectname.style.cursor

what if I want to display the hourglass icon on a web page, not just on the top of some div ?
use it as I suggested in my first comment , in the body tag :

<body style="cursor:wait">
avner,

I use your, but when I refresh the page, the mouse
is changing to hourglass.

What I want is the default icon will be showing up for the whole time. When user hit a button, the default will be change to wait. No matter where I go on the page within
5 seconds, the mouse still will be wait icon. But it is
only wait icon on the top of that button.

Maybe a stupid question from a newbie, but hey ... i'll ask it anyway! :o)

Well this is about the only thing I found about changing the mouse pointer.
Now my question:
I want to change the mouse-pointer as well, but I would like to change the default (arrow) into a CUE or a BILLIARD BALL since I am making a website about my billiard-club. You can post an answer here (for other people as well ;) or/and directly to help@roberts.tmfweb.nl ... thanx very much!!!
