[OpenLayers-Users] cursor changing with ZoomBox control

[Lehtonen, Mika]

Hi Bart,

since you are familiar with cursors, you can probably answer to my 
question. I've been thinking if it is possible to set a "real" crosshair 
cursor in browser environment. What I mean by real, is that it's 
precise; good enough for digitizing and large enough. I guess a CAD-like 
crosshair cursor, which covers the whole window, is impossible to 
implement but maybe some sort of middle way would be possible?
