/* cursor.js -- cursor trailor text */
/* {
cursor.js for "cursor trailer text" is based on the Java Script at
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex13/trailortext.htm by
Peter Gehrig. It has been modified by Gilbert Healton to make it
a generic function in a stand alone *.js file. This allows the
code to be used from multiple web pages rather than embedding the
code in each web page that uses it.
ghealton combine address elements on the
@ left into a single
exit109 E-mail
com address
(or search the web for all of the words Gilbert Healton Mad Programmer)
Gilbert's changes are available for public use in the same manner
Peter's original work is.
NOTE: also see corresponding cursor.css file that contains
style-sheet settings required by cursor.js.
IMPORTANT: anyone using these files must copy them to their local
system rather referencing Gilbert's files on Gilbert's web pages.
Modify local files to meet your needs and keep traffic to yourself.
THIS INCLUDES THE IMPORT STATEMENT WITHIN cursor.css... delete the
import or redirect it to your own standard style sheet.
From my hmac.pl web page systems, simply issue the following before
opening the text to the web page:
{CursorText Message To Display}
In raw web pages, you must manually do what {CursorText} expands to:
