This is one of the most spetacular, efficient cursor trail scripts you'll find. I learned the technique and code for creating it from the site SiteExperts, and thought I might share the results with the visitors of Dynamic Drive. The trail you see is constructed using 5 images of descending sizes, each following closely the other.
It used to be that a mouse cursor was just a mouse cursor. Since DHTML came along and gave programmers the ability to track the precise coordinates of the mouse, it was only a matter of time that cursor effects started showing up.
The first thing I ought to tell you about 'cursor trails' is that they perform nothing useful. They don't improve navigation and they don't add any functionality, but they are fun and entertaining for the user.
This page includes a cursor trail. The trail consists of 5 CSS layers each consisting of an image that makes up the trail. I'll call this combination of an image in its own layer a 'sprite'.
This is a milder, less flamboyant version of the Magic Wand Cursor script. Great for people (or their site's visitors) who get dizzy just watching the original!
One of the many cursor scripts in our archive, this one produces dancing stars animating around your mouse. The script uses NO images, so the effect is extremely lightweight and easy to customize
