Hello

Right now I change the mouse by doing this when a button on my page is clicked.


I have the code in place to change the cursor back as needed for the most part. However, there is one case where I cannot stop the loading cursor indication - when the user hits the browser stop button

Is there a way to monitor this event, and take some action if it occurs?

We probably need more details. I assume you've changed the wait curser because when you submit some sort of request, it takes a bit to process. But the user clicks the stop button and so the page never refreshes, which means your mouse never has a chance to be changed. Is that right?

Some older IEs support onstop, not sure if other browsers do.
