Hello I am haveing a little bit of trouble. I need to make a web page where an image follows your mouse when you move it around. The problem is I don’t know where to start ? I am pretty sure I know how too find the position of the mouse but I don’t know how to make an event fire evenytime the mouse is moved and I don’t know how too display an image near it. If anyone could help it would be greatly appriated ?

  • 1. get the mouse position

    use [B]onmousemove[/B] event aplied to the body (or to the document). Take care, IE and Moz uses different syntax to capture the events and to return the mouse position.


  • 2. set the object's position according to the mouse position
