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:

<html>


<head>


    <script type="text/javascript">


        function PleaseWait() {


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


            return true;


        }


    </script>


</head>


<body>


    <form runat="server" onsubmit="return PleaseWait();">


        <!-- your webform -->


    </form>


</body>


</html>

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!

Sheila

Rock on!!!

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
