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';
