Okay, I would like the mouse cursor to take the "basic Windows style" on my page, you know, when the cursor is the white arrow with a black border, even if the visitor has changed is cursor settings...

I know it's possible in CSS but I have absolutely no idea how I can do it...
:(

Can anyone help?

This should do it but if they have changed which image they want as the default cursor then it may not:

<body style="cursor:default;">

Also, if the visitor has changed his cursor via the pointer options in the mouse properties, that probably means they want to use that cursor, not the default cursor...

You could make an image of the standard Windows cursor, upload it and use that as a URI, like this:

<body style="cursor: url('cursor.ico'), default;">

But as pyro said, if the user has changed their default cursor, they might not like your site overriding that.

I used the "upload an image" solution and it works properly... Thanx a lot!

I just want to make some of the pages on my site to look like an application of some sort (MS-DOS type) and thus wanted the cursor to take a "rougher look" ;)
