IE6 Cursor blinking issue

    Hi guys,

    I have a script that is continuously updating different variables, in IE6 (but not IE7 or FF), when you hold your mouse over a clickable image or hyperlink, you get an annoying blinking cursor that coincides with the script changing. If you disable the changing variables (or in this case, there is simply a stop button) the cursor quits blinking, you also will see it flash to a pointer with hourglass very briefly sometimes when you're not even over a hyper link, but generally it is most annoying on hyperlinks; I made this GIF depicting what it looks like:

    I know I've seen this kind of thing before on websites, but I forgot how to fix it.

    Thanks everyone!

    The mouse cursor changes when it is over a link, while the variables are updating the link disappears so the cursor changes to a pointer, perhaps you could use some in line script with an onclick event rather than an href.
