This script will let a pretty sparkle follow your mouse. It is like other cursor trailers, but tiny and not bothersome. I did not create this script. However the author allows it to be used and redistributed if the credits are left intact so grab it and use it! I particularly like this script because it relys on CSS rather than java to create the effect, therefore, you don't run into javascript errors when trying to run multiple scripts on the same page.

Add this code to the head section of your page
<STYLE TYPE="text/css"> <!-- BODY{ overflow:scroll; overflow-x:hidden; } .s1 { position : absolute; font-size : 10pt; color : blue; visibility: hidden; } .s2 { position : absolute; font-size : 18pt; color : red; visibility : hidden; } .s3 { position : absolute; font-size : 14pt; color : gold; visibility : hidden; } .s4 { position : absolute; font-size : 12pt; color : lime; visibility : hidden; } //--> </STYLE>

Then add this code to the body section
<DIV ID="div1" CLASS="s1">*</DIV> <DIV ID="div2" CLASS="s2">*</DIV> <DIV ID="div3" CLASS="s3">*</DIV> <DIV ID="div4" CLASS="s4">*</DIV> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript" TYPE="text/javascript"> /* Submitted by Mike McGrath http://website.lineone.net/~mike_mcgrath */ var nav = (document.layers); var tmr = null; var spd = 50; var x = 0; var x_offset = 5; var y = 0; var y_offset = 15; if(nav) document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEMOVE); document.onmousemove = get_mouse; function get_mouse(e) { x = (nav) ? e.pageX : event.clientX+document.body.scrollLeft; y = (nav) ? e.pageY : event.clientY+document.body.scrollTop; x += x_offset; y += y_offset; beam(1); } function beam(n) { if(n<5) { if(nav) { eval("document.div"+n+".top="+y); eval("document.div"+n+".left="+x); eval("document.div"+n+".visibility='visible'"); } else { eval("div"+n+".style.top="+y); eval("div"+n+".style.left="+x); eval("div"+n+".style.visibility='visible'"); } n++; tmr=setTimeout("beam("+n+")",spd); } else { clearTimeout(tmr); fade(4); } } function fade(n) { if(n>0) { if(nav)eval("document.div"+n+".visibility='hidden'"); else eval("div"+n+".style.visibility='hidden'"); n--; tmr=setTimeout("fade("+n+")",spd); } else clearTimeout(tmr); } // --> </SCRIPT>

Just move your mouse and you will see how it looks like..
