I'm trying to use an onmouseover event to change the cursor to a custom .cur image.
onMouseOver="th is.style.cursor ='icons/cursor.cur';"
The above code works fine in IE but not in Firefox. It's important the users know where they can click.
Could anyone help please?

so using the pointer should be sufficient ... since it shows the standard 'here you can click' cursor? ... i'm not quite sure whether I would use another cursor or image except I would need it for a browser based game ... or why is it essential to have another custom cursor?
kind regards
I can use the pointer but using the custom cursor just helps remind us whether we are logged in as user or administrator.
It don't suppose it's essential but it does improve the look. I just thought it should be possible.

I may be wrong, but I think you need to specify a default, e.g. "auto" or "default" for the custom cursor to work, e.g. - onmouseover="this.style.cursor=\"url(icons/cursor.cur),auto\";"
You could also consider using CSS only with "hover".

in case it would be essential then have a look here and see if it helps ... but for your specific purpose personally i just would apply another style to the app's background-color or something more visible as a cursor ...
kind regards
PS: ahh ... try acoder's hint first ... may be it helps? ... as i said before ... i never used custom cursors before :)
Is .cur a proprietary M$ format that only IE supports?

yes and no.
.cur is basically a monochrome bitmap, so it may be viewable when loaded as a bmp, which many browsers handle.
Firefox allows .cur since 2.0 according to MDC, this is your best bet: - cursor: url(foo.cur), url(http://www.example.com/bar.gif), auto;
Thanks for all your help, acoder's solution of adding the defualt afterwards works. Adding the url(***.cur) stopped working in IE but when I added the default it worked again in IE and now works in Firefox.
Many thanks all,
I now have it working in IE, Firefox, Safari and Google Chrome. Any ideas how to get it working in Opera?

I don't think Opera supports custom cursors.
I also have a similar problem but it's work for me when i entered the full path to the cursor file.

I have an image with several links in it in mapped areas. I am using a

This works for the body, font or img tag:

hello,
I'm writing a panoramic image viewer in javascript. When the mouse is over

Hello all,
When one tabs through a form (specifically, in Firefox), all the text in
a field is automatically selected.
What I'm looking for is a way to put a function (in onFocus perhaps)
that will automatically move to the END of the existing text (a blinking
cursor).
Yes, I've Googled, but cannot seem to locate just what I'm looking for.

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.
