    Busy Cursor


    Is there a way to display a busy cursor on a html page. I need this to show
    the user that page is busy doing some task like geting records from the server.

    Re: Busy Cursor

    In CSS 2 there is a "cursor" style that allows changes to the mouse pointer
    when it is over something. You can set up a style with the cursor to wait
    and dynamically change the body class for the page to something like -
    waitstyle{cursor: wait;}

    Problem is, NS 4 and Opera don't fully support CSS2, so you might be
    limiting the effect to IE browsers until NS 6 is more widespread.
