Change of mouse pointer is only visible if I move the mouse

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.getEle mentById("my_hr ef1").style.cur sor = "wait";
document.getEle mentById("my_hr ef2").style.cur sor = "wait";
}

function show_hand() {
document.getEle mentById("my_hr ef1").style.cur sor = "default";
document.getEle mentById("my_hr ef2").style.cur sor = "default";
}
</script>

<a href = "javascript:sho w_hourglass();" id = "my_href1"> Show
hourglass</a>
<br>
<a href = "javascript:sho w_hand();" id = "my_href2"> Show hand</a>
</body>
</html>

Is there any workaround? E.g. to move the mouse one pixel by javascript?

I get a wristwatch instead of an hourglass :)

clicking show hand gives me the arrow instead of the usual hand when
pointing at the links. using "" instead of "default" fixes that.

I'm guessing you need to generate a mouse-moved event, I'm not sur how to do
that.

I have set onmousedown to change the cursor, but this setting is ignored (IE 5.5; NN 6.1 on Win 2K Pro) until the mouse is either moved or the mouse button is released. On Opera 7.01, the setting seems to be ignored completely, even when I try with window.setTimeout. So my two questions are: (1) Most important: Is there anything I can do so that I don't have to wait for the next mouse event before the cursor gets repainted. (2) Why...

I have a command button on a continuous subform and I want the user to click it to open a small popup form that opens in the position of the mouse (which is the same as the position of the command button on each record of the continuous subform.) I'm hoping someone can tell me how to do this. Thanks, lq

Hi, I'm writing on Linux an application which needs to move the mouse pointer and simulate button clicks (better: button press and release events separately, e.g. to do drag&drop). I found several ways to move the pointer: - Using QT QCursor::setPos - Using SDL libraries .... - Using XLib directly

I was wondering if there was a way to give mouse movement on an empty form some lag/delay? For instance, user moves mouse, and the cursor is 20ms (possible adjustable from some option) behind the movement. So when user stops moving mouse, 20ms later the cursor itself stops moving...
