There are many posts for this exact question. This is obviously homework.

You might want to look into why the page is taking so long, instead of a hacky workaround. Nice school you're going to.

yes u r correct but in my webpage m retrieving data from data source there are around 3000 records , that's why its taking time to reload the page i want to display a hourglass in this mean time. pls give me some idea soori

People here frown upon doing homework for others. You should NEVER change the cursor to an hourglass through postbacks. It's a horrible practice.

If you know how to do it, then call the javascript function when it starts loading data.

How about the button's click event?

on the .aspx page. function unLoadPage() { document.body.style.cursor='wait'; } see if this is what you are looking for.
