Some people don' t like this sort of thing however. It may turn them off a bit. As always, keep the author and source info intact when using free gratis scripts. _____________________________ Hope I have been of some help, Micheal [URL=http://web.archive.org/web/20060101013129/http://www.frontpageforms.com/]FrontPageForms.com-Archive Version[/URL] I am living Proof that Viral Procrastination exists!

I liken it to eating in a resteraunt where all the silverware have a 3 foot tall, hot pink feather sticking up from the handle... While the novelty is cool for a minute or two, it gets pretty annoying when you' re tying to enjoy a meal... _____________________________ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

Pat G Posts: 276 From: Virginia Status: offline	RE: mouse effects - 5/30/2003 16:04:08 I actually agree w/ya' ll...but my client (my brother) wants it on our site. A customer told him about it and now he wants it. What can I do? My brother is bigger than me. _____________________________ Animals are people too. (in reply to Pat G)

Pat G Posts: 276 From: Virginia Status: offline	RE: mouse effects - 5/31/2003 15:48:00 Well...I did it. Mouse trailer just on home page for now. www.hillwoodsales.com So is this annoying to ya' ll? :) _____________________________ Animals are people too. (in reply to Pat G)

At least you only did it on your home page. _____________________________ Who was the first guy that looked at a cow and said, "I think that I'll drink whatever comes out of those things when I squeeze them"?

pageoneresults Posts: 1001 From: Orange, CA USA Status: offline	RE: mouse effects - 6/1/2003 3:08:42 Pat G, to take such a professional design and destroy it with a trailing cursor is almost a sin. This technique rates right up there with the ole' blink attribute, eek! This article from Jakob Nielsen dated May 1996 still stands true today.

abbeyvet Posts: 5095 From: Kilkenny Ireland Status: offline	RE: mouse effects - 6/1/2003 11:39:00 quote: So is this annoying to ya' ll? I just leave if I meet anything like this. But then we may well be a pickier bunch than the average visitor. It would be interesting to keep an eye on the logs though. Especially the average number of page views per visitor. If that drops..... I think you know what to blame! _____________________________ Katherine :: InKK Design :: InKK Domains (in reply to Pat G)


Shirley Posts: 3127 Joined: 1/8/1999 From: Omaha, Ne USA Status: offline	RE: mouse effects - 6/1/2003 13:48:35 I really dislike mouse effects. I shop on ebay from time to time and I refuse to buy anything from anyone who has a mouse effect!! If I encounter them on a website I always leave. Check your logs for the time spent on the page. I bet is drops!!!! _____________________________ Everything But Cake (in reply to Pat G)


gorilla Posts: 2974 From: Denmark Status: offline	RE: mouse effects - 6/1/2003 15:21:55 What a very nice site, clear crisp, easy to find information on - I hope you don' t add such an annoying " feature" to every page. But " the client is always correct" - still it is a pity. It would be a good idea to study your logs. Maybe ask the client who is so much bigger and stronger than you " is it worth possibly losing business by including this?" Just a thought - again my congratulations on a very nice design.

pageoneresults Posts: 1001 From: Orange, CA USA Status: offline	RE: mouse effects - 6/1/2003 15:28:37 I' m going to be a little sarcastic here... Why not use a Comet Cursor and force the visitor to download the Comet Cursor Software to see your professional cursor effects. This would be a perfect compliment to the trailing cursor effect. I' m just kidding. But, Comet Cursor, trailing cursors, blinking text, etc. are all on the top ten things of what not to do when designing a web site. _____________________________ SEO Consultants Directory Find Search Engine Marketing Companies (in reply to Pat G)

I find the mouse effect pretty annoying... I' ve only been to one website where I was amused by it... it was a comedian, don' t recall his name... not a big name... His site had the same mouse trailer, but it said " Isn' t this the most annoying thing you' ve ever seen on a website?" It made me laugh, I actually surfed a while before never going back again...

Pat G Posts: 276 From: Virginia Status: offline	RE: mouse effects - 6/2/2003 12:26:23 Thanks for your feedback. I agree w/everyone. BUT...quess what? My client (my brother) just told me to put the mouse effect on all the pages. Oh well. :( Pat _____________________________ Animals are people too. (in reply to Pat G)
