How would I attach a custom cursor, for example, a smiley face, in a CSS for use with mouse overs and hyperlinks, etc... I know I can say:
Code:
.a { cursor: hand; }
but I want to use others besides the built in ones.

Before you could do something like that the user would need to have the cursor which means that they would have to download it and install it. They do this on comedycenteral.com if you want to see how it works.
 
Let's hope my boss believes me when I say "I was doing research!", but seriously I didn't see any unusual cursors...
 
It's cursor:url(some_url)
Since it's a url (or URI, actually), it doesn't have to be downloaded first. BUT, MS says it works on IE6.0 only. Tracy Dryden
