I assume you mean like having a crosshair cursor.

If you Google "Crosshair cursor + javascript", you'll find tons of examples on how to do what you need.

For example: http://www.webtoolkit.info/javascrip...om-cursor.html

Ugh, folks - CSS! Javascript should only ever happen for things you can't do with ordinary markup and styling.

body{cursor:crosshair;}

Are you familiar with CSS, iuky? If not, I will definitely explain the above in more depth.

I had always thought the cursor property didn't work in Firefox, but looking into it I can't find any documentation on that.

Do you know if there was ever an issue for it? I coulda swore there was once upon a time.


*edit* ah, it seems it is only for certain values that it fails. Crosshair is one that works across all browsers.

only custom cursors don't work, the system cursors will work, i mean those who are selected as default for pointer, link, crosshair... whatever..

Well, not just a small crosshair, but a vertical and horizontal line, centered on mouse cursor, that extends until touch the web page's borders.

It's is a lot useful in grid pages when you have a lot of scheduled activities on rows and dates on columns.

Thanks guys!
