Not an answer to the question, but a way of achieving what is wanted.

Make a div (see class below) visible when you are loading.

• you can add an animated gif to indicate something is going on instead of the cursor.

  .loading{ position:fixed; height:100%; width:100%; left:0; top:0; cursor:wait; background:#000; opacity:.5; z-index:999}
