Aha! I'm glad someone mentioned this, because I've seen it on occasion too,
but didn't know why. I found an investigation into this at:
http://web-wise-wizard.com/javascript-tutorials/browser-phantom-busy-cursor.
html
.. that seems to suggest that using javascript:void(0) is actually a way of
avoiding it, but.. well, I'm not convinced (probably unfairly, I'm just
biased because I think their site is horrid).
I thought I'd throw this in to see if anyone else out there has had any
experience with this problem, and knows a definitive answer on why it
happens and how to fix it.
