Wait Cursor with Text

Does anyone know of an wait-type cursor that can show text beside the
hourglass? I'd like to display status messages beside the hourglass while
not allowing the user to click anything...

Okay, but what about programmaticall y setting status text to appear beside
(but part of) the cursor itself? Picture an hourglass cursor with text
appearing to the right indicating percentage done...

This is the only solution I've found to get a wait cursor document-wide: function Busy() { if (document.all) for (var i=0;i < document.all.length; i++) document.all(i).style.cursor = 'wait'; } Sadly, for pages with a lot of elements, its performance is not acceptable.
