Hi,
I have a page with a number of different frames. One of the frames is filled in with a servlet that is called from a different frame.
When the servlet is running on the server, and the webpage is waiting for the HTML from the servlet, the cursor displayed in that frame is a combination of an hour glass and the pointer. I would like to show that cursor over all of the frames so that the user knows something is happening no matter what frame they have the cursor over.
Now, I have tried manually setting the cursor to 'wait' by using: parent.frames.document.body.sytle.cursor = 'wait' and then set it back to auto on the load of the servlet frame. This has had limited success. This will be messy to carry through my whole application, plus it has a whole lot of implications with different page refreshes that I do at various times. Also, 'wait' is just the hour glass.
Does anyone know what the combination of the hour glass and the pointer is called?
The browser does a good job of controlling the cursor in the frame that the servlet results are generated in. I would like to tie into the same event that causes the browser to put the cursor back to normal once the servlet frame has completely loaded.
Does anyone know what event the browser is using?
Thanks in advance,
Draug
