hey,
First, i would like to thank you all for helping me out in the autostreching forums and gave up on frontpage, and THERE ARE barely any difficulities and it's less time consuming.
Anyways Is there a way were we can turn a certain pic into a cursor on your webpage?

body { cursor: crosshair; }
I think that will work. Just replace crosshair with whatever you want to use.

cool, Is there a way to umm.. choose the crosshairs?. For instance if a person dosen't like a certain kind of crosshair he should choose another that is provided to him. Ah i probably dont make sense, or ask too much

Boy, you don't ask for much do you?
(just kiddin)
I suppose you could make different style sheets use a style sheet switcher.
Here are a couple of links on how to do that.

Yeah but when you use their service a java applet runs asking you to install their software.. This happened a few years ago when I was using them, it might of changed?

When I go to a site using comet cursor I immediately hit the back button. Please don't use that. Those things are annoying.

same here. Cursor tricks usually mean substandard content. At least that's my perception.

Umm crosshair shows up like a crosshair when i leave it like that but when i change it to an image it turns to a regular mouse cusor again!
body { cursor: human_cursor.gif; }
does more than 1 javascript in a page cause conflict?

Sorry

lol... sorry you guys... i didnt know there was so much hatred towards comet cursor!
When they first started it was a tiny little applet and nothing else. now it seems they've gotten big and greedy!

body { cursor: url(human_cursor.gif); } <-- try this?
It isn't likely to work, but you never know what browsers have chosen to make up. The listing above shows you what options you have -- setting your own image is not one of them.
If you want to add images TO the cursor, as well as the default cursor image that is on the user's computer, you can find oodles of JavaScript scripts to do the job (that don't evoke the evil Comet Cursor).

Further research yields that using url(); for a custom image should work, but I haven't seen any examples (and not sure I want to!).

I found a directory of sites last night that I was surfing through and every single one of them changed my cursor - I didn't like it. May I ask why you want to do this? I'm seriously curious - I don't get the point of doing that. I thought something was wrong with my computer at first.
