Text following mouse
Written by 21 August 2012
Putting a beautiful and special style for the cursor will make your website more beautiful and your website visitors will stay on your website longer. In the following code a text rotates around the cursor and wherever the mouse cursor goes, the text moves and follows the cursor. You can change this text to what you want and enjoy!
Code Snippet:
<!-- this script is provided by www.javascriptfreecode.com coded by: Kerixa Inc. -->
<!-- START OF Mouse Cursor Text Trailer DHTML -->
<!-- SUMMARY BRIEF
This DHTML script will make a text message follow
your cursor around the screen. You can change the
message to say whatever you want.
You can change the font face, color and size in
the .trailersytle tag below. You can change the message
in the javascript below that. Just look for the
comment that says "Insert your personal message below."
