Opera and CSS custom cursor

Where I am usually proud of Opera for implementing all CSS really fixed, it seems that implementing a custom cursor with the following line does not work

cursor:url("../pics/merge.gif");

The url is correct as it works for the usual background image properties.
It works in other browsers, but not in Opera.

Any ideas?

There is a workaround for opera using javascript:

http://plugins.jquery.com/project/customcursor

it works fine, it is tested in opera 11, although I would recommend the usual css approach for other browsers, especially older ones, i.e. not too fast, even without js.

Opera has not added support for this yet. This line is incorrect, although a backup cursor is required for the specification. Therefore you need to write, for example.

cursor: url ("path / in / cursor"), wait;

(Disclaimer: I work for Opera.)

Opera does not support the url property. It may even be removed from the specification (verify this).

js version is very slow. The image also has a file size limit. https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/cursor is a good place to read CSS cursors.
