That script is old though, this version will play better with other scripts:

thanks for the help, i so much appreciate it but, the text rotates from the last word instead from the front, I would request that you preview it yourself and see what i mean.

thanks very much, expecting your help once again

[jscheuer1]

Well, you could just reverse the order of the message, or do it like so:

. . . 
//Circling text trail- Tim Tilton
//Website: http://www.tempermedia.com/
//Visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com for this script and more
function cursor_text_circle(){
// your message here
var msg='Dynamic Drive!'.split('').reverse().join('');

var font='Verdana,Arial';
var size=3; // up to seven
var color='#000000';

// This is not the rotation speed, its the reaction speed, keep low!
// Set this to 1 for just plain rotation w/out drag
var speed=.3;

// This is the rotation speed, set it negative if you want
// it to spin clockwise
var rotation=-.2;

// Alter no variables past here!, unless you are good
//--------------------------------------------------- . . .

And make sure you are using the negative value for the:

var rotation=-.2;

Thanks very much, it rotated as i wanted only that when i move the cursor the text follows the cursor from behind instead of the beginning of the text.
please preview and see what i mean.

Once again thank you very much
