Cursor image: Use a different image "on click" or "loading"
Hi,
I was wondering how I can set a cursor image to change whe someone clicks on a link or button.
An example is:
My cursor is a tomato
When I click a link, the tomato squashes.
Is this possible and how? If not is is possible to have a different image during loading of a page?
Thanks.

This article on dynamicdrive shows you how to create a custom cursor:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex11/customcursor.htm
But like what sundaramkumar has posted, it can be phone:
body{ cursor:url("yourimage.cur" ); }
to appear over other elements such as a paragraph; in this case you would have the line as such p { cursor: url("yourimage.cur"); };
Remember, the image that you use for the cursor must be either a .cur or .ani format. If you can't make your own custon cursor, I recommend Debi's Cursors (http://www.debidawn.com/cursors.htm) where you can can find a large selection of free custom cursors as well...

It explains the changing of the cursor with javascript. You can trigger it with on an onClick event.
