I REALLY want to know how to apply custom cursors onto my webpage! Grr..
I'll even settle with cross-hairs or something simple.

Thanks,

Use CSS -

..special { cursor:crosshair | default | pointer | move | e-resize |
ne-resize | nw-resize | n-resize | se-resize | dw-resize | s-resize |
w-resize | text | wait | help }

*the values separated by pipe symbols are all of your choices*

The apply the special class to an element on the page, e.g.,

<a class="special" href="whatever.html">woohoo</a>
 
Even if you *can* get it with CSS, don't do it. I hate those things. I'll
close a site out in a heartbeat for that kind of stuff. I don't know which I
dislike more - tinny background music or screwy cursors. I think I dislike
funky cursors more because I can turn my speakers off but I can't turn my
monitor off and still see what the heck I'm doing.
 
Hehe. I have seen good use of the help cursor for glossary-type pages, but
the rest are too outre for me, too.
