You can only set the mouse pointer in Internet Explorer 4.
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
function setPointer() {
if (document.all)
for (var i=0;i < document.all.length; i++)
document.all(i).style.cursor = 'wait';
}
function resetPointer() {
if (document.all)
for (var i=0;i < document.all.length; i++)
document.all(i).style.cursor = 'default';
}
//--></script>You can trap the cursor leaving a text field using the onBlur event handler:
<form> <input type="text" onBlur="setPointer()"> </form>
