[OpenLayers-Users] crosshair control

[Michael]

I think you have two issues

1.  to display the mouse position, use the mouse control:  
http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers/Control/MousePosition-js.html
2.  to change the cursor, you can just use standard cursor styling, with 
javascript or css, right?

I have a dim recall of this being available as an OpenLayers facility 
too, but it should be pretty straightforward
