move mousepointer via javascript?

Good morning everybody.

I would like to know if it is possible to move the mousepointer to another
location with Javascript? For example Mouse.jumpTo(x, y)

No. (And luckily so, that would be horrible).

What you can do, and what some abusive pages have done, is to move the
browser below the cursor after the user has pressed the button, forcing a
click on an unrelated button.

Is there a way to make the browser move back to the previous page via code behind on the server? The effect would be the same as the user clicking on the browser's back button. Thanks. -- moondaddy@nospam.com

With document.body.style.cursor = "wait"; I can set the hourglass and with document.body.style.cursor = "default"; I can set the MousePointer back. That works great. But if I do document.body.style.cursor = "wait"; <sort the table> document.body.style.cursor = "default";

With the following code I can change the mouse pointer. However, if you click in Mozilla (with IE it works perfect) on 'Show hourglass' the mouse pointer changes only if you move the mouse at least on pixel. <html> <body> <script type = 'text/javascript'> function show_hourglass() { document.getElementById("my_href1").style.cursor = "wait"; document.getElementById("my_href2").style.cursor = "wait";

My script is below but does not work. Im new to javascrip and there is probably something embarasingly obviour that Im missing. Can anyone help Ian...

Hi, My research on this NG hasn't produced a satisfactory answer. Here's what I want to do: move two div (s) (each has an image tag within) to another location on the same page. // no problem with that // prior to move, position = fixed; // at each move, I capture the new top value

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
