Wait cursor over entire html page

Question

Is it possible to set the cursor to \'wait\' on the entire html page in a simple way? The idea is to show the user that something is going on while an ajax call is being com

Answer 1

Try the css:

html.waiting {
cursor: wait;
}

It seems that if the property body is used as apposed to html it doesn't show the wait cursor over the whole page. Furthermore if you use a css class you can easily control when it actually shows it.
