Each time you load a new page, you are also loading a new copy of jBox
which has to be initialized each time. (Hopefully the browser is
caching jBox so that it does not have to fetch a copy each time, but
that's not relevant here)

jBox has not persistence beyond the scope of the current page. So you
need a javascript function to set the cursor image when jBox
initializes, which is to say, each time you load a new page.
