making your own cursor

[KryptoS]

Hey,

I want my own cursor on my website. I know it's something like this: cursor:url("mycursor.cur"); ... but I can't figur out how I can change the cursor when the page is loaded, you know something with hour-glass (or how do we call that in english).

You will need to assign that value to an element on a page. In your case I would suggest the body:

<style type="text/css">
 body {
    cursor: url("mycursor.cur"), default;
 }
</style>

Remember to put a generic cursor type at the end so that if the client's browser cannot download your specific cursor it will get the correct one.

yes, I know that one. But I want to change the hour-glass. When you click eg a link and the page needed to be loaded a few seconds, normally the cursor changes to a hour-glass. I want to change that one.
