  wait cursor turns to pointer over form, how to set to wait cursor

  Mar 22, 2004 12:06 AM|LINK

  When I have an asp.net page doing a postback, the browser switches to a wait cursor, but move the the cursor over the asp.net page area and it turns to a pointer. Sorry for the basic qusetion, but is there a way to allow the cursor to not be reset to a pointer arrow over the page? I expect it to change over a button for instance, or anywhere where I declared the cursor should be something specific. The expected result was that the cursor turns to a wait cursor while waiting for a postback to do its thing. Thanks for any insight. :o)

  someone mentioned using javascript to show a "please wait" frame after posback and then hiding it again after load here: http://www.asp.net/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?tabindex=1&PostID=401845 But I was still hoping for a way to make sure the cursor is properly shown as a wait cursor when the page is taking its time between postbacks. Anyone have an idea on this?

  Here's the code I used recently:

  <script type="text/javascript">
          function PleaseWait() {
              document.body.style.cursor = "wait";
              return true;
          }
      </script>
  
  
      <form runat="server" onsubmit="return PleaseWait();">
          
      </form>

  I hope this helps.

  hi,

  I put this code inside the on click event of a button...

          Button_kaisha.Attributes.Add("onclick", "document.body.style.cursor = 'wait';")
   

  But nothing happens.

  I am using asp.net and vb as code behind.

  Any idea?

  Thanks!

  Hi,

         Instead of providin the style to onclick, u can define ur entire page under a div tag or under a td tag and provide a valid name for the tags. In the aspx page u can define the style like ...

        <Div name='name1' id='name1'>
             <form>
                ... // ur page definitions goes here ...
                ....
             </form>    
        </Div>

         (or) 
  

         <Td name='name1' id='name1'>
             <form>
                ... // ur page definitions goes here ...
                ....
             </form>    
        </Td>

     and define the style as ..

     <Style>
                  Div:hover
                  {
                   this.style.cursor=wait;
                   }    

                   Td:hover
                  {
                   this.style.cursor=wait;
                   }  
     </Style>

  Hope this would resolve ur problem ...

  Regards,
  Sam

       Hope this may resolve ur problem ...
