Cursors in browsers

Internert Explorer is currently the only browser capable of using custom cursors. There are multiple ways how to specify cursor for your web page or for a section of a web page:

Using cursors from this web on your web or on MySpace profile

Find the cursor in the library.
Click on the description of the cursor. A html code appears in a box.
Copy this html code into your page.

The html code contains a link to the library and it must be left intact. The link text may be modified to better suit the nature of your web, but it must not be hidden (do not try to trick the system, it'll only make things worse). If this rule is broken, your web site will be banned from using the cursors. If your custom cursor is not working, check the list of currently banned sites.

If you want to unban a site, make sure it follows the rules, then create one new original and high quality cursor and add it to the library and send a polite email to info@rw-designer.com asking to unban your web site url and mentioning the added cursor. Why do you need to add a cursor? Because it takes time to ban or unban a site. If you do not get a response and your site is not unbanned, you are still breaking the rules or your cursor was not worth the time to check your site again.

Technical details

Specifying cursor in cascading style sheet

If you are using external .css file, you can specify cursor from there. Add the following line to the element that you want to use the custom cursor. If you want to set cursor of the entire page, add the line to the BODY section.

cursor:url("<url of your cursor>");

Modifying web page

If you cannot or do not want to modify your .css file, put the following code to the header of your page:

<style type="text/css">  </style>

Alternatively, you can directly modify the style of an element on your page like this:

...<body style="cursor:url(<url of your cursor>)" >...

Uploading cursor files

You should upload a cursor file to your web server in the same way as you upload images, audio or video files. Once you have uploaded your cursor, replace the <url of your cursor> placeholder with the actual url of your cursor (for example /MyCursor.ani).

Using cursors directly from this web

If you are not in full control of your web server or simply cannot upload the cursors, you are permitted to use the cursors directly from this server. Follow these guidelines:

1. Find the identifier of the cursor you want to use

Locate the cursor in the library - the first cell in the table shows a preview of the cursor, its name, number of frames and the last information is the ID of the cursor - look for a number after ID:. Write this number down.

2. Modifying your page

You already know how to modify your page to display custom cursors, the only thing left is to specify the <url of your cursor> field. Use the following text: http://www.rw-designer.com/cursor-extern.php?id=XXXX. The XXXX should of course be replaced by the identifier of the cursor.

If you are using this method, also place a link to this library or to the cursor set on your the page, where you are using the cursor.

Do not use the download url (cursor-download.php) directly. The downloads are counted and external links are disabled.

Sample code


<style type="text/css">

body {cursor: url(http://www.rw-designer.com/cursor-extern.php?id=cursor_ID); }

</style>
