Well, if you managed to turn and keep the cursor busy, all the time durin=
g the data retrieval and turn it back to default same time the data are c=
ompletely in the page, than I don't have to look at you're script code fo=
r further assistance. (I've asked this because I remember you've mentione=
d some timer earlier in you're posts).

Anyway, Best Regards

Bekim

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
document.body.style.cursor=3D'wait'
document.body.style.cursor=3D'default'
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 dat=
a
complete, so you know when to switch to default.

Thanks, that made it a lot easier using the body tag.

Well, with the remote scripting, it grabs the data from the server and
writes to a <div> on the page, so when it's finished writing, thats when =
you
turn back the cursor.

// remote scripting functions
runitgo()
// turn back cursor
document.body.style.cursor=3D'default' ;

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

Which code? most is on the site below if you do a view source. I think
setting up for remote scripting a pain in the neck. But as for the databa=
se
connection I found that I couldn't return a recordset or an array, so had=
 to
put the recordset into a string and parse it into a table in the <div> th=
at
way.

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 the e=
nd
it calls the specified object for handle. It slows down you're script
functions, depending on the size and the number of you're document object=
s 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 al=
l
the links and other functions in the page during this data travel, but al=
so
ESC button function to cancel data reading by client at any time.

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

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 dat=
a
complete, so you know when to switch to default.

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