Disable the Hourglass
- Thread starter pparadis

The hourglass is a windows cursor which displays when the server is processing, It can't be manipulated by ASP (as far as I am aware).
What you can do is change the cursor to a normal arrow, but this change will only affect your local machine. BDC.

I'm having exactly the same problem when updating the .src of a javascript via timer to read a file which changes periodically on the server. Even if the user is hovering over a link, the cursor flashes to an hourglass then back to the default pointer instead of at least going back to the "hand" cursor. I realize that it can't be done from asp, but is there any way to suppress the hourglass/back to default pointer behavior when doing a script load?
You can Use a style sheet to alter the cursor state :
<body style="cursor : hand;">
other than that you could use a javascript to invoke a style while loading, there's also a downloadable java class called cursor to manipulate mouse pointers as desired.

I'm aware of the procedures to change the cursor when hovering over different elements. The problem is that when the I redirect the ".src" of a javascript on a page, the cursor momentarily changes to the "progress" cursor, then to the default pointer. The entire process only takes a split second, but the cursor ALWAYS ends up as an arrow, no matter what element it's hovering over.
