I would advise against doing that. You and I know that it is only an effect but some people may think - "If the site can change my mouse, what else can it change?" It is not a good way to get "trusted".

quite intresting answer... humm .. but as a person who know the least amount of computing... I dont think thats much of a deal .... but indeed to many people who may not understand this that, it is only a script that changes your cursor.. indeed there are scripts taht could inflitrate your comp.. but as a person who understands little.. I would not worrie about that.. but yes there are people who like to play safe...

I don't see a simple cursor as a menace to my PC. In fact, many websites do that, and never thinked any bad because of that alone. In computers, changing the mouse shape is a usual practice too. Look at the many programs you may have, under different conditions, your cursor will change. That's completly inoffensive.

Changing the cursor can be done with cascading style sheet (CSS). Here is a link to a tutorial: http://www.echoecho.com/csscursors.htm

There are web pages that you can get the script for that. My daughter goes to a page and she gets a ton of different cursors. Its a cool page and the best part is its free. You copy and paste the code. Here is the link to the web page hope it helps you get what you want. http://cursormania.smileycentral.com/download/index.jhtml
