changing mouse pointer on the page while the page is loading

[Nickolay]

While loading any page Mozilla sets mouse pointer to hourglass. I'd like it to be default while page is loading. It can be set to the "hand" view or to any other. But it does not want to become default! I need it because I have the all time open thread to the page. What do you think about this?

This should do it:body{
cursor:default;
}But why do you need it so bad anyway? It doesn't harm the viewing of your page does it?

By the way, cursor:hand; is IE only, the proper way to do it is cursor:pointer;

Yes I tried this too. I even tried to use onMousemove() event to change the mouse pointer. Mozilla understands the pointer is not default, but the changing of it makes it a pointer with the hourglass again. Yes, I know that "hand" is a IE specification. I wrote that to describe a view of the pointer. As I wrote I had an all time open thread to the page. I mean the page never stops loading. The information can be added every second.

Thank you.
