Um, unless your intranet is used only by HIGHLY sophisticated users, the first thing that would happen if you were able to make the cursor disappear is that tech support would be inundated by calls from irate folks claiming their machines just "froze!" Seriously, moving the mouse cursor is how most users know the machine is still "on" and not "broken." If you do figure out a way to blank the cursor, please at least consider putting a big sign on that page telling users their cursor will return if they do such & so. (-8
