Is there any way to hide the cursor/(mouse pointer) on a page with Java script?

or can someone tell me how to change the look of it so it's REALLY small?

any help would be greatly appreciated! [sig]<p>Peter Heaton<br><a href=mailto:heaton@characterlink.net>heaton@characterlink.net</a><br><a href=

There is a way... sort of. If you are on a company intranet the perhaps you can send out a package of cursors. IE and NN use the system cursors of your OS. If your collection of icons has say a crosshair cursor that is different from the norm (invisible) then the browser will show that cursor. You could use MicroAngelo to create a .cur file for the crosshair cursor and have it available as a file on your site with instructions on how to install (or perhaps a program to do it for them). Here is how you apply it to the page (IE only as it uses CSS)...

Code:

<html>
<head>
<style type=&quot;text/css&quot;>
 BODY{cursor:crosshair}
 .showCursor{cursor:hand}
</style>
<body>
 <H3 onMouseOver=&quot;this.className='showCursor'&quot;>Hover over this</H3>
</body>
</html>
