Cursors wont work, ive tried Options

[inlove_w_boardin...]

every time ive ever tried to get a custom cursor on my site, none of them have worked. is there some code that doesnt enable those custom cursors to work? even when i had a custom HTML layout with a cursor as part of the layout it didnt work. please help.

...... The cursor links might not work. Your code might be faulty. You might have such scripts blocked by your browser.... Cursors only work in IE I think.

ya i have IE and ive tried about 20 different times with different people just to make sure it wasnt a faulty code.

....... Are you adding this code into your stylesheet or are you just putting it in as a seperate code? Also, you might want to get rid of some less needed codes to help things load faster..... And check the cursor's actual link. It might not be there anymore, or the maker could have gone over their bandwidth.

Are you adding this code into your stylesheet or are you just putting it in as a seperate code?

i was putting this in my webstats as a single code. was i not supposed to do that?

Is your cursor .CUR or .ANI?
It won't work if it's .GIF or .JPG.

yeah i know thats where i got it but it wont work. Am i supposed to put it before or after something in my webstats?

Interesting. I'm trying the script, and it won't work no matter where I place it.

[talcumpowder]

That code isn't going to work. I thought you were talking about a plain cursor code.... But yeah, it's not gonna work.

heh even I who do not know javascript easily made this work:

just because they disabled the function doesn't mean its use is prohibited
