Change mouse pointer's appearance

Hello,

Is there a way/action to change the mouse pointer’s appearance? E.g.: into a cat’s pawn? Animated?

Thanks, Lode

Yes - you can do this in CSS

Add this to the before end Head section of your page

<style type="text/css">
<!--
a, a:link {
cursor:url("yourimage.cur");
}
-->
</style>

Or you can use yourimage.ani for an animated graphic.

You will obviously have to create the correct graphic format from your image

OK - after playing with it for a bit I have found that you are not restricted to cur and ani files but the code should be slightly different than my previous post.

It appears that you have to offer an alternative style of cursor if your image is not available to make sure it works.

<style type="text/css">
<!--
a, a:link {
cursor:url("http://www.yoursite.com/yourcursor.gif"), auto;
}
-->
</style>

I have used auto but could easily be pointer, crosshair etc.
