Hy,

I don't know why your cursor don't change its state, but you could
force to change cursor with the CSS property "cursor".

See http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_class_cursor.asp

Bye,
Sam

My css is ok. The problem is in IE, becouse if javascript is reloaded (on
loaded page) the cursor is automatically change to "wait" (hourglass) and if
script is loaded it don't return to hand (it return to arrow) if you stay on
hyperlinks or other elements with style "cursor: hand".

Okey, i understand your problem. in your onload function you could
write document.getEle mentsByTagName( "body")[0].style="cursor: arrow"; I
don't know source of your problem but i think it's a solution to
resolve this by now you found a best solution.

Not sure what 's causing it this time. Do you have an url? I 've seen it
happen on pages where the document.write( [string] ) method is used to
create a new document or part thereof. This method implicitedly 'opens' the
document, if there was no call to document.open( [mimetype][,replace] )
method earlier in the script. The new document is never properly finished
without an explicit call to document.close( ), so the browser keeps loading
forever. No parameters necessary.

If you are using document.write, consider reconsidering. The function is so
easy to use, that it encourages lazy and bad coding habits. By nature, it
produces content. Content, on the web, should be accessible, but relying on
script, by definition, it isn't. Alternatives include hidden divisions, made
visible by the script, or scripted inline frames to conditionally
incorporate content on the fly that non-javascripted visitors (such as
search engine bots) have access to through ordinary links.

'hand' is not a valid value for the cursor property in CSS 2, I think
you mean 'pointer':

Nothing working correctly, it's still the same effect.

This is the simple code demonstrated this:
page.html
<html>
<body>
<script language='JavaS cript' src='' id='mlv_1'
type='text/javascript'></script>
<script>
window.setTimeo ut("mlv_1.src=' http://.../script.php?a='+ Math.random()+' &b='+Math.rando m();",
2000);
</script>
<a href='google.co m'>Stay on this link</a>
</body>
</html>

You have to correctly write path to http://.../script.php this script may
return nothing:
script.php
<?
?>

If you run page.html, go to the link "Stay on this link" for 2 seconds you
have "hand" cursor, after 2 sec. you have "arrow"
