Floating Dots Cursor Trail.

Another trailing cursor effect from the greatest DHTML and javascript writers Urs Dudli and Peter Gehrig

Stunning DHTML animation you have never seen before. The random-image-engine creates a long cursor trail out of a set of images which gives the floating dots effect. When all floating dots have appeard the effect will then reverse and disappear.

Add as many images as you like. Easy configuration and installation. Crossbrowser.

Wait until this page has been loaded. Then move your cursor around the webpage until the animation stops and all images disappear.

Installation instructions.
