My custom cursor is not working outside of content Options

[EleanorFox]

Hello. So I have this website https://jsfiddle.net/EleanorFoxQueen/sqLd1wxf/2/ and the cursor when moved outside of the body it will be back to the default cursor. Any idea how to fix this? Thankyou so much

Well nothing I tried works so I'll let you know if I have tried your answer or not

Warning, I don't mean this to be mean. But I'm not going to sugar coat this either.

Looking at this you've got way bigger problems than custom cursor issues. Such as:

Why are you declaring a fixed width layout?

Why are you slopping style into the markup where it has no business being?

What's with the non-semantic DIV soup?

Why are you telling large swaths of users to go plow themselves by declaring everything in PX?

And I suspect you're also using images for things that shouldn't even be images. Type of thing that happens when a Photoshop jockey thinks they know what design is. Most don't!

I'd have to see the actual images, but on the whole I'd take some time to actually learn HTML, then throw this entire wreck out and start over. This is a laundry list of how NOT to use HTML.

You could start by learning that there are more tags that go into your markup than DIV, That and 100% of the time you see <style> and 95% of the time you see style="" you're looking at utter and total rubbish practices. A middle finger to sane and rational web development.

Also the marquee tag is inaccessible garbage that was stricken from HTML 25 years ago.

Interesting. So what spec was marquee actually in?

You caught me! Technically it was never ACTUALLY part of HTML. It was vendor specific, though it was mentioned by name as rejected in one of the HTML 4 drafts alongside EMBED. (or at least the W3C's discussions of such)

After all the whole point of 4 Strict was to simplify the language and reduce the number of tags.

Which is why it's so aggravatingly stupid the WhatWG put EMBED back in. But then I disagree with a lot of what they did with HTML 5.
