title: Changing cursor to wait cusor while waiting for applet to load
body: <p>I have an application where an HTML page first loads, then an applet with lots of data loads.    It takes some time for the applet to load and while the applet is loading the customer would like an hour glass to be the shape of the wait cursor (even though the Sun Java display is doing its usual thing).    I know the javascript command for changing a cursor to a wait cursor is 
  document.body.style.cursor = "wait";</p>
  
  <p>But how do you change the cursor to the wait cursor right before the applet starts to load and turn it off when it finishes loading.   </p>
