Mouse Trail Javascript



One of the most spectacular and efficient mouse trail scripts you'll find, this one displays a trail that follows your mouse around, though fades away if the mouse becomes inactive. It's window dressing for your site at its best! 'JavaScript-PacMan' was originally designed as a demo-page for an advanced employment of JavaScript animation techniques. The first version (for Netscape Navigator 3.0) was published in late 1996/Jan.1997 and might well have been the first arcade style game on the web implemented in JavaScript only! The JavaScript Source: Time and Date: Mouse Trail Clock. Simply click inside the window below, use your cursor to highlight the script, and copy (type Control-c or Apple-c) the script into a new file in your text editor (such as Note Pad or Simple Text) and save (Control-s or Command-s). The script is yours!!!

As you may have noticed this site has not been updated in a while. There are 3 very good reasons for this...
1) I have a new job and am having to learn tons of new stuff which takes up loads of my time (and brain power, not much left these days).
2) I wasted time trying to change the style of the site and created a ton of new pages that were xhtml transition compliant (well almost, I needed it to work in NS4).
3) I was spending a lot of time creating pages on how to install, modify, customize scripts. I was wondering if there were a way to
a) Easily install a script (just cut'n'paste 1 block of text).
b) Install multiple copies of the script by just cutting and pasting the EXACT SAME block of text into another place on your web page.
c) Install multiple different scripts without conflict.

Well, I have come up with a solution. It will make scripts even easier to install and configure. It is harder for the programmer to produce this kind of script but it makes it much easier for the user to install the script. I am now working on converting some of the more useful scripts from this site to this new technique and that too is eating up my time. However, it is kind of neat to open up your webpage in a text editor and cut'n'paste a single block of text and see an exact duplicate of the script appear with no errors and no conflicts. It's like copying the HTML for an image and seeing another copy of the image appear. No need to change variable names or create 'objects' with different names or put 'this in the HEAD, this in the BODY, this in the 'onload' command'.

Having said all that, I was browsing the web and came across some fading routines and realized that the ImageFader script (in the Navigation Section) could be adapted to fade any kind of HTML element. It is still In Development but may be worth a look (demo1, demo2).

A simple javascript that can be customized accordingly for adding a mouse cursor or pointer trailing text.
