SCRIPTING QUESTION!!! Help!, i need to know something about a script! Options

[dmbrocks923]

hey guys i have a ??...

on that clock script where it follows your mouse and spins around telling you the date/time, i was wondering if it's possible to get a code where you can put something other than the date/time... like your own personal message that circles around in the same way but you can program what you want it to say...

thanks a LOT

there is, and i have seen it around on xangas, and sites like htmlgoodies.com, but i can't quite recall the site enough to give it to you.

there is an answer, i don't have it, but i would recommend htmlgoodies.com for a place to look

The load of Javascript that script puts into the browser is enough to slow it down while loading it by a few microseconds - not good. Anyhow, it's at:

http://javascript.internet.com/

Go to http://www.dynamicdrive.com/. And then click on like the cursor/mouse section. Look through there and you'll see it.
