It is working on my browser, IE 5.5 but I know it works in IE5.0 also, ev=
en if it's not defined in CSS at all.
But why are you using document.all type of thing. It calls all the docume=
nt objects and counts them, than it finds the referenced object and at th=
e end it calls the specified object for handle. It slows down you're scri=
pt functions, depending on the size and the number of you're document obj=
ects a lot.
It would be nice to have the cursor wait displayed everywhere in the page=
 during the dataB data download. It would also be preferable to disable a=
ll the links and other functions in the page during this data travel, but=
 also ESC button function to cancel data reading by client at any time.

document.body.style.cursor=3D'wait' =20
document.body.style.cursor=3D'default'

would be more lighter, or in case you like to have the cursor wait state =
only over the element that retrieves data access it directly by its ID:
theobject.style.cursor=3D...  =20

The main problem remains, in how to get the cursor back to default after =
the data read is completed. You have to find the way to keep track of the=
 data complete, so you know when to switch to default.

Regards
P.S. I'd like to see some of you're code

Well, finally got the cursor=3D'wait'  working, by calling a one-off time=
out
and then going on with
the remote script.

I noticed also, don't know if it was my programming, but I couldn't chang=
e
the cursor type if it
was only defined in the CSS. I had to define it in script before I could
change it in script.
ie

<script>
document.all['remotenav'].style.cursor=3D'default'
function mytest()
{
document.all['remotenav'].style.cursor=3D'wait'
}
<script>
