Please don’t do that, it is considered extremely tacky. It is done with CSS by the way. ---

totally agrees about it looking tacky, i just had an spot on a site im workin on there is a section at the bottom, and the client wanted some kind of crosshair instead of a mouse. but at the same time he didnt want flash. so i was gonna try to mess around with html and see if i could pull off the same effect ---

Crosshair is a standard cursor type I believe. In css it is set as cursor: crosshair I haven’t done this in a long long while so I am not sure exactly how to implement this, and I don’t know what browsers or OS systems it works on. I highly recommend you do not use it though.
