Safari 5 Mouse Cursor Disappears

I recently upgraded (or downgraded) to Safari 5. However whenever I enter a page with adverts or javascript, my mouse cursor disappears completely until I leave that page.
You know, those annoying interactive ads on youtube or other websites, e.g. "shoot 3 ipods to win a free ipod" kind of thing. I can disable Javascript, but that doesn't always help.

Any Ideas why the cursor disappears? Thanks.

I have the same problem - will try re-installing Flash. But the quick way to get your cursor back is to run it up to a corner (I know, you can't see it, but...) that has Mission Control enabled (Preferences>Mission Control>Hot Corners...). All your windows will be exposéd.. just click back on the Safari window you were using.
