Getting the browser cursor from “wait” to “auto” without the user moving the mouse

Question

I use this jQuery code to set the mouse pointer to its busy state (hourglass) during an Ajax call...

$(\'body\').css(\'cursor\', \'wait\');

Answer 1

I got inspired from Korayem solution.

Javascript:

jQuery.ajaxSetup({
    beforeSend: function() {
       $('body').addClass('busy');
    },
    complete: function() {
       $('body').removeClass('busy');
    }
});

CSS:

.busy * {
    cursor: wait !important;
}

Tested on Chrome, Firefox and IE 10. Cursor changes without moving the mouse. "!important" is needed for IE10.

Edit: You still have to move cursor on IE 10 after the AJAX request is complete (so the normal cursor appear). Wait cursor appears without moving the mouse..
