Solution 1

I tried, it does not work; "document.all" also does not work.
Why not "document.body.style.cursor = 'wait';"? — it works.

document.all is IE specific thing(which I hate :().
Same is the case with 'hand' cursor. One should always use 'pointer'

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 2-Feb-11 13:26pm

I agree.
I would probably hate it even more if I had to deal with that crap. I prefer don't touch such things and would advice it for anyone. Anyway, my sample works in Firefox/Seemonkey as well; and the area covered is actually whole page.
Thank you.

Solution 3

Here[^] you go for all valid values for Cursor style.

For cross browser,

MIDL

style="cursor: pointer; cursor: hand;"

Thank you Sandeep, it's good (my 5).
However, the problem was ".all", see my answer (it works) and the comment by Manas.

Hello,

Use the following code:

document.body.style.cursor = "progress";

OR you can use the following code: (This uses CSS class to set cursor)

Style:

XML

<style type="text/css">
        .cursorPointer
        {
            cursor: pointer;
        }
        .cursorPointer2
        {
            cursor: progress;
        }
    </style>

Script:

C#

function Change() {
            document.getElementById("pagebody").className = "cursorPointer2";
            //document.getElementById("pagebody").style.cursor = "progress";
        }

HTML:

<body class="cursorPointer" id="pagebody">
<input type="button" value="ChangeCursor" onclick="resettextbox('Value');" />
</body>
