Two CSS Issues
#1- Does anybody know of a way to control a cursor display? For example, an arrow instead of a "click me" hand?
#2- There seems to be an issue with fixed position images in a scrolling layer, is there a workaround? Can be seen at intuitiontech.com/msc/about.html just scroll that text around...the background moves with it. It works fine in Moz/NE and Opera...

just an fyi: the cursor stuff is mie only. just like the scroll bar. remember, m$ refuses to conform to any standards they don't set (if even those), so stuff for them isn't always going to work elsewhere: hence jscript which is all mie does which was a rip off of the already present javascript and the standards created edma-954 (the standards thing was developed around the same time and i tossed on a few numbers since they are there, not even sure i spelt the acronym right, just trying to make a point.)
POSIX. because a stable os that doesn't have memory leaks and isn't buggy is always good.

note: it's not bad to do that stuff, it's bad to assume everyone will see it.
you have to remember that if a browser ddoesn't conform to the stanards you're using thn it may look differently and function different;y. if you want a wide variety of eople, then you should use w3c standards. opera and mozilla and netscape are all nearly compleltey compliant (mozilla being the closest to compliant last i checked)

well, I knew that...
But since you brought it up, how can I link to not show up as a hand (I use links' mouseover to scroll text)?

If by cross-browser you mean in all browsers, use Flash. However in all browsers that support it, CSS will work. Some CSS cursor: works for Mozilla types, as well, it's not just MSIE.

suzanne: in css1 and i belive 2, both scrollbar and cursor weren't present. i haven't seen css3 even though mozilla 1.6 supports the prelims.

There is a difference between what will work, and what is standard.

Regardless, cursor is part of the spec for CSS2.

i didn't realize it was in css2. i know that the scrollbar thing is MIE and one ofthe css ref sites claims that's the same witht he cursor.. at least it did last time i checked.

Sorry, the scrollbar is CSS2 as well. Well, okay, only the "gray" area.
It only really WORKS in MSIE, though, does that help?
