[Javascript] Anotherbeginner's question

[Flavio Gomes]

  Well, yeah, changing the cursor is "/client-side/" stuff, and the 
simplest you could get was to set it in css as people told before.

  What was said about "/server-side/" was to include the "/IP-based/" 
redirection on the server, not the "cursor-style" handling.

Case closed?
