Change Mouse Pointer

Bit of a newbie question here...is there a way to change a users mouse
pointer (substituting the usual arrow for another image ) upon visiting a
web page using JS? Any hints gratefully accepted!

There's an easier way using CSS. Add this line of code to your .css file:

body, html { cursor: url(images/cursor.cur); }

Obriously you need to have a directory with a cursor named cursor.cur

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 track the mouse location like this code: function mousePos(e) { var p = new Object(); if(e) { p.x = e.pageX; p.y = e.pageY; } else { p.x = event.x; p.y = event.y; } ... (show) } document.onmousemove=mousePos; Seems to do fine on many browsers.

I'm trying to implement some pretty basic behavior in c#/.net 1.1 Forms but can't seem to find all the requisite pieces. When a user clicks on the background of the form, I want the app to start receiving MouseMove updates -- whether the pointer is over the form or not (this being the crucial part) -- until the next MouseDown. It's easy to receive MouseMove events while the pointer is over the form but not when the pointer leaves. (Forms...

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";

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
