Changing cursor to hour glass

Hi,

Is there a way to change a users cursor to the hour glass everytime my page starts to load? All users will only be using IE6 and the page calls numerous functions that cause the page to refresh or reload.

If they interrupt the process by selecting a different drop down before the page has reloaded it can cause all sorts of problems.

The solution in vbscript would be ideal.

Thanks. "Life is like a Ferrari, it goes to fast.
