[OpenLayers-Users] Another Cursored Question

[Bill Thoen]

I noticed in Bart's explanation on how to use the new cursor features in 
2.8, that there are CSS styles that appear to use two *.cur files, which 
implies that we can use multiple cursors for different stages in a mouse 
operation, but also that we can use _custom_ cursors (beyond the small 
standard set you get in JavaScript). Here's an example of what I mean:

.olControlZoomBoxActive {
    cursor: url(lib/openlayers/theme/default/img/zoomin.cur) 9 9,
url(../geoservices2.2/lib/openlayers/theme/default/img/zoomin.cur),
auto;
}

The zoom box tool has two cursor states (moving and dragging) so it 
makes sense that you would need to be able to specify two cursor images. 
I'm guessing that the two urls here are doing just that. The 9 9 
coordinates are the hotspot on the first cursor I suppose too. 
Unfortunately, the new OpenLayers doesn't include any *.cur files in the 
distribution, despite what it looks like here.

But I'd like to learn a bit more about OpenLayers cursors. Like, for 
instance, are those .CUR cursor files cross-browser compatible? Are 
there any public examples of maps that use the new cursor features yet?  
Is there any documentation, technical specs or examples on using cursors 
available to the public or does the code speak for itself (as is so 
often the case). I've searched the web site and wiki, but haven't found 
anything on this topic yet. So before I go spelunking around in the 
source code, I'm hoping someone can point me to what I'm looking for.
