CSS personal cursor problem

[Arkkimaagi]

Hello.

I have a cursor I made and it fits my site style perfectly. I know I can adjust the cursor on an webpage with ie6+.

The problem is that when I move my mouse over an link, it changes to original cursor when it is over the "walking ants" border of the link.

Sample code I use:

<style>
body { cursor : url(mycursor.cur); }
a { cursor : url(mycursor2.cur); }
a:hover { cursor : url(mycursor2.cur); }
</style>
<a href=&quot;

http://www.lut.fi/~tapiolin/&quot;>Link</a>

Example: I move my mouse slowly from document to the link area. On the document area it is mycursor.cur, when it is exactly ontop of the &quot;walking ants&quot; border, its the windows cursor , inside the border it is mycursor2.cur

Do you know what the border name could be in CSS, or do you have a fix for this?

Here is the site:

I'm not sure. But, how did you make a cursor? I've wanted to do that for months. I've searched online but I can't find any programs that let me do that.Thanks.

There are many programs for that. I used microangelo to do it.

Hi mate,

Nice layout...

The cursor worked fine for me..

I personally have never used a custom cursor so the following is a suggestion only..

Try to add active and visited to your cursor code to see if that is the problem..

Hope ths helps Wullie

Terve Arkkimaagi,

I use IE6, but I only saw one(1) cursor, the sword. It didnt change on mouse-over.

Thanks about the feedback. At the moment I use only one cursor, but it bugs with it too. And I will try the visited and active thing, but I doubt it will help.

Does anyone have this same problem, or is there an solution?

Moi,

Just clean up your code above

body { cursor : url(mycursor.cur) }
a:link { cursor : url(mycursor2.cur) }
a:active { cursor : url(mycursor2.cur) }
a:visited { cursor : url(mycursor2.cur) }
a:hover { cursor : url(mycursor2.cur) }

Dont see why it wont work. And double check the code format, make sure its right.

Did not help.

Come on, there has to be somewhere an css guru that can tell me the proper code for this area between the link and document.

That page is outdatet comparing to the issue I am dealing here at the moment.

I asked some friends of mine what their thoughts are on the
subject, they say, and I agree since we tried our asses off
(excuse my language), that it can't be done (yet), we dont
think that it is supported yet.

Good luck anyway, and if you do find a solution, I for one
would love to hear about it ... BobbaFet
