How to make the cursor follow the screen pointer

Tom
Hi

I want the position of the cursor in the text box to follow the mouse
pointer as the mouse it moved across the text box when a button is
pressed down (it will be a part of a dragdrop procedure).

Does anyone know who to do this? I am completley stumped!

Thanks

Tom

I've found and have been working with Knowledge Base Article 179192 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;179192) which limits the mouse movement to inside a form, but I'd like to adapt this to be limited...

The following declaration was posted to a forum: cursor: url('path/some.cur'), hand, pointer, text, default; and I'm having a hard time convincing the poster that it's invalid. First of all, I suppose it should be established that it /is/ invalid. The following excerpt is taken from the CSS 2 specification (and appears unaltered in CSS 2.1):

I need to make a terminal window to emulate special characters of a vintage PC. I don't think I can use a console because you can't change its font...can you? So what is the best way to make a terminal window that has a scrollback and is easy to position the cursor? How does hyperterminal & SmartTerm do it? Thanks!

hello, I'm writing a panoramic image viewer in javascript. When the mouse is over the image, I want it to be a crosshair (over most of the image), or a hand/pointer (when it's over an image map region). The image map is created in javascript, but doesn't set any 'cursor' style rules. The problem I'm having is I have two images embedded inside two divs. The outer div has style='... cursor:crosshair', but when I move over the image...

Hello, I am running windows xp......the cursor (pointer) disappears and remains hidden. After restarting several times it will appear for awhile but will eventually disappear again from the screen. As I move the mouse, things will be highlighted as if the cursor is there but hidden. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
