[RESOLVED] Changing the pointer to hourglass and back while processing JS function

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi,

I have a JS function (Ajax) that does some processing. I’d like to set the window cursor to hourglass on the start of that functions and back to auto when the function ends.

Is there a way to pragmatically set the page cursor ? Thanks.

// your code
document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].style.cursor = 'default';
