When hovering over links you mean?

one piece of advice is not to mess with people's cursors - some can get upset if you mess with things that are hardwired into their OS. i find for example my hand being replaced with a cross hair doesn't look cool, it's simply annoying. some users might like it but you can bet your bottom dollar that there will be many that won't.
my 2 cents ;)

I'll throw in a "me too." Sites that change my deault curor for no apparent reason are high on my list of pet peeves (or is it "low"?). Changing the cursor for a particular object may make sense, and may even be helpful; e.g., changing the cursor to a "help" cursor when it hovers over a help button. But changing the default cursor for the page... yuck.

Cheers,

Kevin

Good one Taz!!

Actually, I just want the cursor to change when hovering over an image that is the link to the main page. "It's the classic smiley face with a bullet hole in it's forehead.....:) I would like the users cursors to change into a gun when hovering over a normal smiley. Then, when they click(or shoot), the smiley turns into the shot smiley !!?? << possibly animated with comical gore.

Any ideas anyone?? I use Frontpage and am designing my second site. Not a whole lot of experience here, sorry.....
