Why doesn't my code change the cursor using jquery?

Question

This is my code:

$('body').css('cursor','url(http://5211.91.tc/imcur/020.cur),auto');

Thanks

Are you sure this is a jQuery issue? Have you tried document.body.style.cursor = "url(http://5211.91.tc/imcur/020.cur), auto"; instead? — Andy E

Quirksmode has defined some rules for cursor images, one of them -

The size of the image must be 32x32 pixels or lower. This is a (Windows) OS restriction; not a browser restriction.

The cursor appears fine for me in Internet Explorer if I apply the style directly. I don't think size is the problem.

I am unable to see the cursor in Firefox 3.5.8 on Ubuntu. I defined it in CSS.
