how can i put a custom cursor up on my site? i've heard of the evils of comet cursor, and i figured there's some sort of magic something that might make me feel special out there.

You'll need to download some program that allows you to create .cur files. I've heard of something called Michael Angelo, or some such thing. Google it.

You can find free custom cursors to download by searching Google for "custom cursors."

Insert the CSS below into the <head> section of your HTML document. Change the cursor filenames to the actual names of the cursor images you choose.

<style>
<!--
A:hover{CURSOR: url(handfilename.cur);}
BODY{CURSOR: url(arrowfilename.cur);}
-->
</style>

To test page on your computer, cursor image files must be in same folder or directory as your HTML document.

Yup.

Of course, I would find it easier just to do:

<style type="text/css">
* {
cursor: url(foo.ani);
}
</style.

welll..........
the custom cursor went great. i used the software microangelo (http://www.microangelo.us/welcomet.asp). the only problem is that the hover doesn't work.
the site is here (http://www.esu3.k12.ne.us/districts/ralston/hs/rhsweb/).
the code is here:

<style>
BODY{CURSOR: url(cursor.cur);}
A:hover{CURSOR: url(cursor.cur);}
</style>

strange...

works fine in IE, not ff though, perhaps ff doesn't allow them?
