I want to use my own cursor on page: body{cursor: url("../images/normal.cur")}. When I keep this file under Windows, I can see in my IE this feature working. If I put the page on server under Linux, the cursor is not seen in IE any more. Please help me with the problem.Perhaps your server does not recognize the MIME type for the extension "cur".
Perhaps you have a CaPiTaLiZaTiOn error.
Perhaps your file does not exist on the server.
Perhaps your file is not in the right directory.What will be MIME type for extension cur?I don't know. Something like
image/x-icon
There wasn't much info in CSS2 about it. W3C doesn't control MIME types anyway.Don?t know whet (or if there even is) a regoistered mimetype for cur files
The official mimetype list can be found here though

Then everything is OK, at least in my case. Thank you.That's interesting! What I read on Microsoft's web site was:Internet Explorer 6 and later. Cursor is defined by the author, using a custom Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), such as url('mycursor.cur'). Cursors of type .CUR and .ANI are the only supported cursor types.An .ico is that stupid Favorites icon that shows up in the location box.You may visit green.ipm.lviv.ua (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://green.ipm.lviv.ua/">http://green.ipm.lviv.ua/</a><!-- m -->) and watch yourself cursor as ico file working in IE.
