Load an iframe without the hourglass appearing

(the iframe takes a very long time to load..)

I have an iframe on a page which takes a long time to load, but I do not want the hourglass to appear as it might confuse the user.

Any thoughts on how I could keep the cursor from changing and the hourglass from appearing?

Watch the usability here - the hourglass cursor is there for a reason: to flag to the user that the system is working and to wait. Removing this could cause a lot of user confusion,

1 >User: "Is the page loading?"
2 >User: "I Don't Know.... "
3 >User: "I'll hit refresh and see what happens..."
4 >Goto 1 and Repeat a few times
5 >User: "I'm outta here..."

Great. Brilliant, thanks.

Any chance I can stop the globe from spinning in IE as well?
