    [Resolvd] Mouse Pointer

    Does anyone know how to change the mouse pointer, or cursor when runing some code in an ASP page?

    Thanks

    I'm assuming you mean client side processing?
    Code:
    <html>
<head>
	<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
		function changeCursor(isBusy) {
			document.body.style.cursor = (isBusy == true) ? "hand" : "default";
		}
	</script>
</head>
<body>
	<input type="button" onclick="changeCursor(true);" value="Show Busy">
	<input type="button" onclick="changeCursor(false);" value="Back to normal">
</body>
</html>
    If not client script, you'll have to cowboy it - open a popup window that will do the processing, cache the execution results, redirect the opener & display the results. Or just accept it that the user has to wait

    axion_sa, thanks for the reply.

    If I wanted the curosr to be the hour glass, what would I replace "hand" with?

    Also, can I change the fore and back colors of this type of button?

    Thanks again

    Hi again, mabye I should go buy a Java book. lol

    Anyway, say I have the following control.

    VB Code:
    1. <asp:dropdownlist id="cmbStores" style="Z-INDEX: 112; LEFT: 281px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 182px" runat="server"></asp:dropdownlist>

    Would it be possible for this to use the same java script for an onclick event. I put this line in the above code...
    VB Code:
    1. onclick="changeCursor(true);"

    But, it caused an error.

    Thanks again!

    Works for me:
    Code:
    <asp:DropDownList id="DropDownList1" onclick="changeCursor(true);" runat="server"></asp:DropDownList>
    What error are you getting?

    Hmmm, I guess it does work. Threre is a red squigly line under onclick. I assumed that it woudln't run.
