Question

I have an architecture similar to this:

<div id="container">
<div>stuff here</div>
<div>stuff here</div>
<div>stuff here</div>
<div>stuff here</div>
</div>

I want to, using jQuery, hide the cursor when the mouse enters #container. However as the nested divs appear on top it doesn’t quite work that way. How can I hide the mouse cursor when hovering over any of the divs within #container. Below is the cursor hiding code.

        $('#container').mouseover(function()
        {
            $(this).css({cursor: 'none'});
        });

Dare I say it, you could just target both parent and child divs?

$('#container, #container div').mouseover(function()
{
    $(this).css({cursor: 'none'});
});

Granted I haven’t tested this, but had to use a similar method to change the cursor of a <li> with a <label> child.

You could extend this slightly using the children() function.
