拖动时更改光标

Question

Is it possible to change the cursor while dragging? I have been searching and trying to do it for a while now. I want to change the 'not-allowed' cursor which shows up while you drag an object to another cursor.

I tried creating an event and assigning it to the image I wanted to drag:-

<img id="drag1" class="drag" src="http://www.surfixe.com/img/tick2.png" draggable="true" ondragstart="drag(event)" />

java:-

function drag(ev) {
    $('#drag1').css('cursor', 'pointer');
}

jsfiddle

Edit: Note: My little project is suppost to be html-5 drag and drop , so I need to be able to change the cursor while dragging a div with html-5 drag attribute

Answer 1

The 'not-allowed' cursor simply showed that there´s been no draggable at all. You have to bind your img with .draggable() method http://api.jqueryui.com/draggable/ it has it´s own option for a specific cursor to be used while dragging.

you can use it as easy like

$( "#drag1" ).draggable({ cursor: "pointer" });

Answer 2

Yes it is possible. You should change the cursor of item that you are dragging (not the destination one).
