I am trying to change the Cursor.

I added to *.css
body {
cursor: url(http://domain/images/finger.cur); }

but cursor wouldn't change

What I am doing wrong?

Hi fastreplies,

i guess cursor is limited to jpg or gif

mfg

akratellio

the .cur is the correct extension, but I am not sure it will work in all browsers. I think it might only work in IE. Also, you might try adding quotes around the url, so it would look like:
body {
cursor: url("http://domain/images/finger.cur");
}

Thanks Stephanie

I tried both ways but it wouldn't work anyway

More suggestions?

Try doing this in your case:

body {
cursor: url("images/finger.cur"); 
}

thats what he already done

Gilligan,
He used the absolute URL to point to the image, so the location he is referring to may not be correct. The way I listed it, it does not have to deal with this.

I was clarifying for the poster, since I do not know his experience level. Your code posted was more generic than mine, I just edited it to his particular case, as I mention in my post.

Thanks for suggestion but I tried that before.

Should I mention that change I am trying to make will be used in phpBB3 prosilver style Forum?

I'm not sure about your code
First cursor is default one used by IE and second, I'm trying to replace the first one.

So, you are sure the image location of the cursor (.cur) is correct then?

haha, love it

not sure how things work with phpbb3 and customization. Try randomly creating a html page using this style, see if that works first.
