display hourglass with seam apps

[admin.admin.email.tld]

I know about and have used a4j:status and there's the new rich:progressBar in RF3.2.0.

Is it possible to have the mouse pointer become an hourglass while the app server is processing the client's request?

thx.

hourglass is better than the other status components in cases where the HTML screen rendered is too long and there's a vertical scrollbar (in that case scrolled down the user might not see the status component if that component is positioned at the very topic of the screen).

Arbi,

You can use onstart and onstop attributes of a4j:status to execute javascript code that will change the cursor style (document.body.style.cursor = "wait").
