  What about vbscript instead of java?

  The following line of JavaScript will revert the cursor to the normal pointer:
  
      document.body.style.cursor='default';

  I tried this and it worked only when I moved the cursor from the button in the nearby area. If we do not move the cursor from the button or go away from the area where button is, it did not work. Could someone please help?

   Great post! I am trying to do this with the TextChanged event of a textbox. THe user enters a check number into the field and a method runs to check the db for a duplicate check number. It thern pops up a grey box displaying key information about the exiting check that already had that check number (if one is found). While this validation is going on, I would like to show a wait cursor. I tried this:

   

  <Code> 

  this.textBoxCheckNum.Attributes.Add("ontextchanged", "document.body.style.cursor = 'wait';"); //in PageLoad
  

  //In the event that fires I do this

  public void txtBox_SetDirty(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
          if (((TextBox)sender).ID == textBoxCheckNum.ID)
          {
              System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000);
              if(CheckNumberIsDuplicate())
                  if (Session_Data.CheckData.KeepDuplicateCheckNumber)
                      Session_Data.CheckData.RecordHasChanges = true;
                  else
                  {
                      Session_Data.CheckData.RecordHasChanges = false;
                      textBoxCheckNum.Text = string.Empty;
                  }
          }
          else
          {
              if (Session_Data.IsLoading.Type != Session_Data.LoadType.Check && Session_Data.IsLoading.Type != Session_Data.LoadType.ReportItem)
                  Session_Data.CheckData.RecordHasChanges = true;
          }
      }

  //Then in my script is set it back to default

   function SeeDupCheck(CheckNum)
  {
      var URL = 'DuplicateCheck.aspx?CheckNum='+CheckNum;
      document.body.style.cursor='default';
      return GB_showCenter('Duplicate Check Number',URL,500,500);
  }

   </Code>

   I do not get a wait cursor. What am I doing wrong?

   

  Thanks,

  John

  I want to do something like this:

  Sub SubmitBtn_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ImageClickEventArgs)
  'Change Cursor to 'Wait' Cursor here
  'Do some processing here
  'Change Cursor to 'Default' here
  End Sub

  With the example provided, I can change the cursor when the button is clicked, but how do I change it back to default after the processing is done?
  
  Thanks,

  Any one found the solution for this problem?

  I am trying to do the same in c#. I have been looking for a solution for the past two days but no success yet.

  I like to show the mouse as hourglass when the user click on the "search" button until the data is loaded in a datagrid. Then change the cursor back to default.

  So I tried the following in the page_load() event,

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

  dgResults.Attributes.Add("OnDataBinding", "document.body.style.cursor = default;");

  It works fine,

  the mouse changes to hourglass when i click the button and then once the datagrid is loaded it is changing it back to pointer but when i move the cursor it is again changing back to hourglass.

  it looks like it is working but not..

  If any one got the solution please post it on.

  I highly appreciate your time

  Thanks

  Hello guys,

  I'm using an Ifram in page X , I want to change the cursor to 'wait' while the Ifram loads page Y, But the problem is ! I can't restore the cursor to 'default' once page Y inside the Ifram is fully loaded !

  I know the javascript code but I dont know where to put it ! In Page X ! Page Y !! Where exactly !?

   

  Your help is highly appreciated.

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

  ... some other javascript code here that does the real work

  document.body.style.cursor='default';

  I have a function (outlined above) that works correctly except for the statements that change the mouse cursor.

  The page itself is within a masterpage, will this make a difference? 

  javascript asp.net masterpage cursor
