Q: I have seen some web sites which use custom animated cursors when you go into their pages. How can I use my own cursors on my site?

• You can use the cursors you create in IconForge on your site, but you will need to add some code to display the cursors. E.g., you can change the cursor when it hovers over a link with a simple style declaration by placing this code in a link or in your style sheet (use your own cursor file names)...
  <a style="cursor:url('ca_uparrow.cur'), url('ca_uparrow.gif'), auto;" href="http://www.cursorarts.com/ca_faqif.html">this cursor effect</a>
  • using the above produces this cursor effect on a link;
  • or substitute animated .ani and .gif images to produce this cursor effect
  Specify your .cur cursor file, followed by a gif or animated gif for non-Windows visitors (you can export your .cur or .ani file as a .gif from within IconForge), and finally by the "auto" declaration so that older browsers or browsers with images disabled are shown the standard link cursor. Our ImageForge Master Edition can also generate the code for individual link cursors.
   
  The other option would be to use a browser plugin such as Comet Cursor from Comet Systems to display your cursors.
