Hi all,

I need to change the users cursor (using JavaScript) to a image of my choice. Whats the easiest way of doing this??

P.s i know its prob easier using CSS but this needs to be done using JavaScript

I already have my .CUR file but am having problems with the code

so far i have the following:

<body onload="document.body.style.cursor = \"url('myImage.cur'),help\";">

but i seem to have hit a bit of a snag and Google doesn't seem to be helping at all.

any help??

Thanks,
J

I believe this was only possible in earlier versions of Internet Explorer, I am unsure if you can do it now.

For example, most browsers allow the change to default cursors:

Firefox and Opera do not have the url() parameter for cursor for example.
