Change of mouse pointer is only visible if I move the mouse

S

With the following code I can change the mouse pointer. However, if you
click in Mozilla (with IE it works perfect) on 'Show hourglass' the mouse
pointer changes only if you move the mouse at least on pixel.

<html>
<body>
<script type = 'text/javascript'>
function show_hourglass() {
document.getElementById("my_href1").style.cursor = "wait";
document.getElementById("my_href2").style.cursor = "wait";
}

function show_hand() {
document.getElementById("my_href1").style.cursor = "default";
document.getElementById("my_href2").style.cursor = "default";
}
</script>

<a href = "javascript:show_hourglass();" id = "my_href1">Show
hourglass</a>
<br>
<a href = "javascript:show_hand();" id = "my_href2">Show hand</a>
</body>
</html>

Is there any workaround? E.g. to move the mouse one pixel by javascript?
