How do I change the mouse cursor on my website?

Hello
I was wondering how I can change the look of a visitors cursor when they enter my website - ie change it to a picture or something.
Perhaps with a javascript?
Thankyou,
Jason

Well maybe its a fantasy game site and he would like a wooden wand or something, different cursors look great on certain websites.

If you have a style sheet, add this:
[code:1:1a47281a67]
BODY {CURSOR: url(http://www.mywebsite.com/cursor.bmp);}
[/code:1:1a47281a67]
(change the url to the cursor)

If you dont have a stylesheet, you can add it to the body tag like this:
[code:1:1a47281a67]
<body style="cursor: url(http://www.mywebsite.com/cursor.bmp);"
[/code:1:1a47281a67]

Hello.
Below is a copy of the html on the page which I want the cursor picture to appear on, but it won't come out.
I was hoping someone could help.
Thankyou,
Jason
