Hi
Trying to display the cursor as a lens when hovering an image with a
link that displays a bigger version of the same image, I did this:
a.lens {
cursor:url("/site/pix/corporate/lens.cur"), pointer;
}
That works fine with Firefox 2.0 and Internet Explorer on Windows (not
with Opera), but on the Mac Firefox 2.0 displays the pointer. I tried
setting an image mime type in the .htaccess file:
AddType image/x-icon .ico .ani .cur
But with no success. Also, while Windows Firefox accepts other file
formats such as gif as cursors, Mac Firefox does not seem to interpret
the url cursor value at all. I can't test it with Safari 2.0 as I don't
have the latest OS, but Safari 1.3 does not display the cursors either,
though I read that this should be supported from version 1.2.
BTW, when I address the lens.cur file directly with Firefox, it displays
it as any other image.
Is there any trick for making cursor:url() work on Macs, too?
Thanks for a hint!
