html Cursor??

Do you mean how do you change the cursor style like these ?

yeah but permanet?

body { cursor: crosshair; }

I think that will work. Just replace crosshair with whatever you want to use.

cool, Is there a way to umm.. choose the crosshairs?. For instance if a person dosen't like a certain kind of crosshair he should choose another that is provided to him. Ah i probably dont make sense, or ask too much

Boy, you don't ask for much do you? (just kiddin)

I suppose you could make different style sheets use a style sheet switcher.

Here are a couple of links on how to do that.

Thanks Alot for you help, maby someday instead of asking i would be helping instead

You are very welcome.

I think comet cursor do something like what your after... and you can select from 1000's of cursors.

Yeah but when you use their service a java applet runs asking you to install their software.. This happened a few years ago when I was using them, it might of changed?

When I go to a site using comet cursor I immediately hit the back button. Please don't use that. Those things are annoying.

same here. Cursor tricks usually mean substandard content. At least that's my perception.

comet cursors is spyware

woah thanks for the ideas, i've decided to choose only 1 cursor Thanks everyone

Umm crosshair shows up like a crosshair when i leave it like that but when i change it to an image it turns to a regular mouse cusor again!

body { cursor: human_cursor.gif; }

does more than 1 javascript in a page cause conflict?

Try this (in red).

exact same problem this time the crosshair only showed up when it was above an image

Gosh, I don't know. I have exhaused all of my knowledge on this. Maybe someone else can help.

Sorry

lol... sorry you guys... i didnt know there was so much hatred towards comet cursor! When they first started it was a tiny little applet and nothing else. now it seems they've gotten big and greedy!

body { cursor: url(human_cursor.gif); } <-- try this?

It isn't likely to work, but you never know what browsers have chosen to make up. The listing above shows you what options you have -- setting your own image is not one of them.

If you want to add images TO the cursor, as well as the default cursor image that is on the user's computer, you can find oodles of JavaScript scripts to do the job (that don't evoke the evil Comet Cursor).

Further research yields that using url(); for a custom image should work, but I haven't seen any examples (and not sure I want to!).

This should do it for ya!

I think i got it, you can only use the .cur extension with the code you provided me and i need a program to convert jpeg or gif to CUR type, any ideas or "working" programs out there?

http://www.google.com/search?q=create+cursor+.cur

That brings up a lot of different applications. Have fun!

Ahhhh well i already tried a few and im guessing that there is a bad chance that thoes applications would work but i will give it a try
Edited post....

Any CUR converters That actually work?

hey!!! it worked... it's like a puzzel.. everyones' ideas and some research

I found a directory of sites last night that I was surfing through and every single one of them changed my cursor - I didn't like it. May I ask why you want to do this? I'm seriously curious - I don't get the point of doing that. I thought something was wrong with my computer at first.

When i actually got it to work i didn't like it either but i got it to take effect onl when you place the cursor over a hyperlink
