I've created a wonderful front page for IE6, composed of 4 panels, three of them are views_slideshows - take a look at http://shopil.co.il.

However, in IE6, the mouse cursor is crazily blinking between the hourglass and the regular pointer. So, my customer asked me to find a solution or remove the views_slideshow effect alltogether.

Any ideas? Please help...

The cursor blinking occurs when one slide fades to the next. It seems that the fade effect needs improvement for IE6 compatibilty.

I tried to add the following line to views_slideshow.js: 

$('body').css('cursor', 'default');

But where to put it?

As a temporary solution, I've disabled the fade effect.

For the meanwhile I've moved my site to another module - http://drupal.org/project/views_ticker - which provides better IE6 compatibility.
