jQuery.makeCollapsible plugin assigns the wrong cursor to collapsible toggles on Windows
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

It was reported on Village Pump:

"When the pointer is hovered over the "expand" link created by a 'Hidden template' [using the new jQuery.makeCollapsible plugin], the cursor takes the form of an up-and-down arrow rather than the pointing-index-finger form".

The bug was initially found on Windows 7, but I can confirm the problem is also happening on Windows XP. See this test page:
[[Template:Hidden/testcases]]

Edokter explained:

"The 'up-down' arrow you see is the new cursor associated with expanding and collapsing. The actual CSS cursors assigned are 's-resize' and 'n-resize' (arrow down and arrow up), but Windows does not have these cursors and substitutes both with the up-down resize arrow. The code could use URL (downloadable) icons, however, Commons does not allow uploading .cur files, which is the only cursor format supported by all major borwsers.".

Would it be possible to provide these cursors together with MediaWiki by default or to change them to something which works also on Windows?
