Is it possible in Web 2.0 to change the cursor pro-actively? Like if one is hovering over a button? This would be great for indicating the end-user that pressing a button had an effect, even tough the result might take a second or 2.
I think a cursor change is enough for short running routines and there is no need for a progress bar via webthreads etc. Swichting on and off the cursor would be very convenient but it seems that WebCursor is gone with Web 2.0? Perhaps the JavaScripts Guru have a workaround?
