mouse cursor problem !!

[Brami Yair]

Hi,

below is example js:

function SomeLongProcess ()
{
for(var i=0;i<document. all.length;i++)
document.all(i) .style.cursor=" wait";

// some long process here !!

for(var i=0;i<document. all.length;i++)
document.all(i) .style.cursor=" default";
}

so, the problem is, that the mouse cursor not change, until i focus to
different window, and return to this window.

thanks,

try asyngronous code:

function myWait(){
for(var i=0;i<document. all.length;i++)
document.all(i) .style.cursor=" wait";
}

function myDefault(){
for(var i=0;i<document. all.length;i++)
document.all(i) .style.cursor=" default";
}


function SomeLongProcess (){
setTimeout('myW ait()'),50)
// some long process here !!
setTimeout('myD efault()'),50)
}

not tested, btw.

Why not:

function myWait(){
document.body.s tyle.cursor="wa it";
}

function myDefault(){
document.body.s tyle.cursor="de fault";
}
