Hello. This is my style.css:

[CODE]html, body {
cursor:url(cursors/pointer.cur), default;
background:url(images/bg.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:top center;
background-color:#000000;
color:#999999;
font-family: Palatino Linotype;
scrollbar-face-color: #000000; scrollbar-base-color: #000000;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #000000; scrollbar-shadow-color: #333333;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #333333; scrollbar-arrow-color: #CC0000;
scrollbar-track-color: #333333; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #000000;
}

A:link, A:visited {
color:#CC0000;
text-decoration:none;
cursor:url(cursors/link.cur), default;
}

A:active, A:hover {
color:#FF0000;
text-decoration:underline overline;
cursor:url(cursors/link.cur), default;
}

p {
cursor:url(cursors/pointer.cur), default;
}[/CODE]

This is my website: [url]http://www.vvclans.com/db[/url]

Could somebody please tell me why the custom cursor will not work while the pointer is over the scrollbars? Thanks.

@CentauriJul 22.2006 — I would say it is because the scrollbars are a browser-generated object that is not part of the page, and when the cursor is over a scroll bar, it is technically not on the html page.

Hmmm...that sort of assumes something is broken. Those of us who'd prefer that web page authors not meddle with our user interface might consider it a feature. ?

@ray326Jul 22.2006 — Scrollbars on the page might work ok but the browser's scrollbar is not part of the page so it shouldn't be affected by page presentation.

Success!
