Changing cursor to waiting in javascript/jquery

Question

How would i get my cursor to change to this loading icon when a function is ca

Answer 1

I found that the only way to get the cursor to effectively reset its style back to what it had prior to being changed to the wait style was to set the original style in a style sheet or in style tags at the start of the page, set the class of the object in question to the name of the style. Then after your wait period, you set the cursor style back to an empty string, NOT "default" and it reverts back to its original value as set in your style tags or style sheet. Setting it to "default" after the wait period only changes the cursor style for every element to the style called "default" which is a pointer. It doesn't change it back to its former value.

There are two conditions to make this work. First you must set the style in a style sheet or in the header of the page with style tags, NOT as an inline style and second is to reset its style by setting the wait style back to an empty string.
