I have an image with several links in it in mapped areas. I am using a
custom cursor on the page and would like to have a custom cursor appear on
mouse over of the mapped links. Something like:
This works for the body, font or img tag:
<body style="cursor: url('cursor2.cu r')">
<font style="cursor: url('cursor1.cu r')">Text</font>
<img style="cursor: url('cursor1.cu r')" src="...etc..." >
This does not work for an area tag:
<AREA style="cursor: url('cursor1.cu r')" shape=RECT coords=96,30,24 6,46
href="...etc... ">
I'm think I will need to go to onmouseover/onmouseout functions to set the
style for an area tag? Thanks! 3  6906

I would not style the body and font with custom cursor. You also need to
provide a default cursor value in case the referenced resource (custom
cursor) is not fetched, loaded and rendered. Right now, only MSIE 6
supports (static, not animated) custom cursors. The next release of
Mozilla should also support custom cursors (not all types though).

You also need to indicate the usemap attribute.

You should always quote your attribute value of all your attributes.

Does your document markup code and CSS code validate?
Can you provide the url?

In my opinion, you will confuse the user with so many custom cursors.
Custom cursors should be used sparingly and for very good reasons, like
identifying links which will open a new window (or recycle an already
opened window).
Your post has nothing really to do with javascript; you should have
posted your question in a css newsgroup/forum.

Thanks, but the question was "how do a make a custom cursor work for an
area". The examples I gave were for doing it in CSS which does not work for
area so I was hoping there would be a javascript answer. It looks like all
you have done is glance at the CSS examples I gave and have completely
ignored the actual question!

exhibit behaviours I don't understand while NN 6.1 seems

The upshot: .style.cursor seems to be ignored under
certain circumstances.

someone can explain to me what's happening. In Opera 7.01

Hi all, newbie here.
I'm currently designing a custom splitter control...
When the mouse hovers over a certain area on my splitter I need to be able
to display a custom cursor that I've designed.
I've tried several ways to assign my custom cursor to a cursor variable, the
most obvious being by the filename:
myCursor = new Cursor("c:\\myCursor.cur");
and then assign it as the current cursor when in position:
Cursor.current = myCursor

Hi All,
When a mouseover event takes place over a link the popup window is displayed. I also have a mouseout on the link.So if the popup window comes up,has a dimension such that the mouse(currently on the link) falls within the popup edges, the popup starts flickering without totally coming up.This is due to the fact the mouseout and mouseover events are triggered again due to interference of the generated popup with the mouse pointer.
