Use the cursor:crosshair property in CSS. This property is spottily
supported in the browsers though.

Heres a simple test page to use on various browsers

<html>
<title>cursor test</title>
<div style="cursor:hand">hand(ie5 bug, not a CSS property)</div>
<div style="cursor:pointer">pointer(ie5 bug)</div>
<div style="cursor:crosshair">crosshair</div>
<div style="cursor:move">move</div>
<div style="cursor:resize">resize(ie5 bug)</div>
<div style="cursor:ne-resise">ne-resize(ie5 bug)</div>
<div style="cursor:text">text</div>
<div style="cursor:wait">wait</div>
<div style="cursor:help">help</div>
<div style="cursor:default">default(shows arrow in IE5)</div>
<div>No cursor style indicated</div>

</html>

HTH
