Mouse down on the canvas below, and then drag your mouse around and mouse up. Here's what happens on the different browsers:
- In FireFox 9.0 and IE9, the mouse turns into the crosshair cursor for the duration of the drag.
- In Safari 5.1.2 and Chrome 17, the mouse turns into the "text" cursor instead of the crosshair cursor. The crosshair style never takes effect.
Interesting case #2: Same setup, except no mouseup event to reset the cursor style. This time in Safari and Chrome, the cursor is "text" until
the user mouses up. Once the user mouses up, the style takes effect, even though it was set to take effect on mousedown.
