Hey Bill,

That is javascript. How could I tell ? Firstly it wouldn't work on IE on my PC at first, after a refresh the page loaded properly but the js wasn't doing anything.

What did the JS do ? The balls track the mouse or something ?

If that's what it does lemme know because I know of a few free scripts that you could use on your own website if you so desire http://www.cybertechhelp.com/ubb/smile.gif

Yeah it's Javascript. Its a cursor trailer Mishy.

There apparently was supposed to be a popup window too. But that didn't work for me at all.

Hi there Mishy & Buzz,etc.
Man the net is busy tonight "holidays in all". I couldn't get into my 'tripod' homepage for a looong time. So I figured why not use hotbot and homestead to play around with those javascript things from your link Mishy. &lt;grin&gt;

Check out one (http://pages.hotbot.com/photo/palws/index.html) and two (http://palws.homestead.com/Bill.html) .

I finally got into 'tripod', so here is one in my Special page (http://palws.tripod.com/Special.html) . &lt;smile&gt;

After looking at them on the pages.....wellllll ?.?----I'm not to sure myself or anyone could bear to stand those guys for very long. Who knows, I might yank the one off my special page before you folks even get to read this. http://www.cybertechhelp.com/ubb/smile.gif The other two---who cares!

Either way around thanks for the link Mishy.

Hey there Bill, those look fantastic to me, really cool!!!
I have to say I liked the coloured effect one better, as opposed to the one colour effect. I sure ain't no web page critic, but if I was. I'd say I liked them all because they aren't too overpowering to the eye, and I wouldn't get bored of seeing them!!

Hey Bill,

Nice work mate and cross browser compatible unlike that one you first linked to as an example http://www.cybertechhelp.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

I used to have one of those on my website 4 generations before this one lol I always liked it but wondered the same question you suggested about how long people find them entertaining for.

Nevertheless great effects http://www.cybertechhelp.com/ubb/smile.gif

Nice work there Bill!
I agree with Mishy the multi-colored onse looks better to me.

As for cursor trails.. they are a lot like frames. either people don't mind them or they hate them with a passion. Ya can't please everyone all the time. Personally I say do what you want and just make yourself happy.

Odd thing though. The yellow one simply ran for me in NS. The multi colored one forced NS to start up Java. Odd But then NS is known for doing odd things on a mac when it comes to javascript.

[Bill]

Hi guys and gals.
Buzz that didn't happen with my netscape.0-well.Anyway,I stuck the trail on my main page at photopage just for the heck &lt;--I typed that? Christmas cheer I guess. http://www.cybertechhelp.com/ubb/smile.gif

I think I'll leave it there to see if anyone notices.

side-bar...I drove over 185 miles today "Christmas shopping" and came home with a package of five socks for $5. http://www.cybertechhelp.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
I'm great at this last minute shopping bit. lol...

see me.
