    Hey folkitos,

    I've seen cursors vanish while hovering over stuff. I'd like to know how to do this. I think I have to make a "cursor" file that I could reference using cursor: url(nameofcursor.filextention); but I'm not sure how to make cursor files, or what they actually are.

    I've checked this on mulitple browsers, and this works even on a UNIX machine so my previous thought that this was some IE-only cursor thing isn't so. It's also not a script, just CSS.

    I'd like to remove my cursor because there's a part of my page that, when hovered over, is small enough that the little hand dude gets in the way.

    Thx in advance if anyone has any (non-DHTML) ideas.

    Not tested.

    {cursor: url(blank.gif), default;}

    Make a 1px transparent gif.

    cheers,
