I am having trouble with using custom cursors

from what i understand its no different from regular style="cursor:default" command lines except replace that with the cursor file you have? im confused because i cant get it to work .... maybe im missing something?

What Brothercake posted is how you would use an image you have as a cursor. You can download a library of custom cursor images near the bottom of this page (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex11/customcursor.htm).

Also, you can set the cursor property using CSS, For example, the following will cause the cursor style change to an arrow with a question mark beside it (IE 6):

<p style="cursor: help;">
The cursor style will be an arrow with a question mark when the
mouse is over this paragraph
</p>

See: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/ui.html for more on cursor styles ;) .

Just a little FYI, clicking on the link to download the .zip file for the cursor images won't work(for me anyway). Copy the URL and paste it into the address bar to get the .zip file ;).
