I'm mostly good with html and kinda javascript dumb. :buckt: I was wondering if someone could email me the exact code to put a cursor in my site that says "Potter for Prez Mall" PLEASE HELP

Sorry, can't e-mail you, but here is the code. Where you put your text is in the middle of the head part, in bold.

Put this part in the head section of your page.

<style>
.spanstyle {
position:absolute;
visibility:visible;
top:-50px;
font-size:10pt;
font-family:Verdana;
font-weight:bold;
color:black;
}
</style>
<script>

var x,y
var step=20
var flag=0

// Your snappy message. Important: the space at the end of the sentence!!!
var message="DYNAMIC DRIVE! "
message=message.split("")

var xpos=new Array()
for (i=0;i<=message.length-1;i++) {
xpos[i]=-50
}

var ypos=new Array()
for (i=0;i<=message.length-1;i++) {
ypos[i]=-50
}

function handlerMM(e){
x = (document.layers) ? e.pageX : document.body.scrollLeft+event.clientX
y = (document.layers) ? e.pageY : document.body.scrollTop+event.clientY
flag=1
}

function makesnake() {
if (flag==1 && document.all) {
for (i=message.length-1; i>=1; i--) {
xpos[i]=xpos[i-1]+step
ypos[i]=ypos[i-1]
}
xpos[0]=x+step
ypos[0]=y

for (i=0; i<message.length-1; i++) {
var thisspan = eval("span"+(i)+".style")
thisspan.posLeft=xpos[i]
thisspan.posTop=ypos[i]
}
}

else if (flag==1 && document.layers) {
for (i=message.length-1; i>=1; i--) {
xpos[i]=xpos[i-1]+step
ypos[i]=ypos[i-1]
}
xpos[0]=x+step
ypos[0]=y

for (i=0; i<message.length-1; i++) {
var thisspan = eval("document.span"+i)
thisspan.left=xpos[i]
thisspan.top=ypos[i]
}
}
var timer=setTimeout("makesnake()",30)
}

</script>

Put this part in the body section


<script>
<!-- Beginning of JavaScript -

for (i=0;i<=message.length-1;i++) {
document.write("<span id='span"+i+"' class='spanstyle'>")
document.write(message[i])
document.write("</span>")
}

if (document.layers){
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEMOVE);
}
document.onmousemove = handlerMM;

// - End of JavaScript - -->
</script>

When i used to do it it would mess everything up, now it does nothing and i am not sure how to change it? I am using angelfire and have seen such cursors on angelfire sites before

used to do what? Did you try the code on that site? I have never used that host before. sry.

Yes i tried the code before but it used to just ruin my whole site

Perhaps you could post a link to your page?
