hour glass in Internet Explorer 5.5

[Mark]

Hi,

I have developed a page in ASP which would link to another page. I had it
running on Internet Explorer 4.0 and there use to be an hour glass that appears
while the link is recieving it's parameters. Now at IE 5.5, the hour glass
is gone. is there a way to get the hour glass back through the setting or
do I have to program the hour glass on an onclick event. Thanks in advance.

This should help. Set the document.style.cursor property to "wait" in the
onclick event and then navigate to the new URL. For example.

<input type="button" onclick="this.style.cursor='wait';
document.location.href='http://www.devx.com'" value="Goto DevX">

Hi,

what if the link is a <a href> tag. I can do it on button, but is there
a way to apply this event in the hyperlink?

Thanks.

In exactly the same way. For example, this not only turns the cursor into an
hourglass when it's over the link, but also sets the hourglass cursor for
the entire document.
<a href="http://www.devx.com" onclick="this.style.cursor='wait';
document.body.style.cursor='wait';">DevX</a>
