Follow mouse script gone bad...

**pcbrainbuster** · 04-17-2007, 03:45 PM

Hello guys

,

This time I have a problem with one of my test scripts... It is supposed to make the ball follow your mouse but makes it go down at a angle... -

<html>
<body onmousemove="keepup()">
<img src="ball.gif" style="position: absolute;" id="followingo">
<script>
var call = document.getElementById('followingo')
var ol = call.offsetLeft
var ot = call.offsetTop
function keepup() {
if (fl!==event.clientX) {
fl++
call.style.left=fl}
if (ft!==event.clientY) {
ft++
call.style.top=ft}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

Whats wrong?

Please

I think the problem is somewhere around here.

{
if (fl!==event.clientX) {
fl++
call.style.left=fl}
if (ft!==event.clientY) {
ft++
call.style.top=ft}

like what is fl

Oh crud I edited it by accidently earlier on, this is what it was supposed to be -

<html>
<body onmousemove="keepup()">
<img src="ball.gif" style="position: absolute;" id="followingo">
<script>
var call = document.getElementById('followingo')
var fl = call.offsetLeft
var ft = call.offsetTop
function keepup() {
if (fl!==event.clientX) {
fl++
call.style.left=fl}
if (ft!==event.clientY) {
ft++
call.style.top=ft}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

then I have no idea wha't wrong. but i have seen scripts like this before

**pcbrainbuster** · 04-17-2007, 07:48 PM

Well atleast you said something, thanks

**riptide** · 04-17-2007, 07:56 PM

try something like this

Code:

// Simple follow the mouse script

var divName = 'mydiv'; // div that is to follow the mouse
                       // (must be position:absolute)
var offX = 15;          // X offset from mouse position
var offY = 15;          // Y offset from mouse position

function mouseX(evt) {if (!evt) evt = window.event; if (evt.pageX) return evt.pageX; else if (evt.clientX)return evt.clientX + (document.documentElement.scrollLeft ?  document.documentElement.scrollLeft : document.body.scrollLeft); else return 0;}
function mouseY(evt) {if (!evt) evt = window.event; if (evt.pageY) return evt.pageY; else if (evt.clientY)return evt.clientY + (document.documentElement.scrollTop ? document.documentElement.scrollTop : document.body.scrollTop); else return 0;}

function follow(evt) {if (document.getElementById) {var obj = document.getElementById(divName).style; obj.visibility = 'visible';
obj.left = (parseInt(mouseX(evt))+offX) + 'px';
obj.top = (parseInt(mouseY(evt))+offY) + 'px';}}
document.onmousemove = follow;

I could have done that if I wanted, but that his only half of what I want (the ball is supposed to go to the mouse slowly), but thanks for the post anyway

Yup I remember that script, but its not what I want

... Everything is correct except that I did not need 3 images and ALL that code...
It should work with the code I made (I wonder why it doesn't...) !!!

Thanks Again Though
