Mouse Cursor Clock
Retro web design at its peak. This script breaks the current time string into individual characters and animates them to trail behind your mouse pointer.
Move your mouse inside this box to see the clock trail.
Copy the Script
<script>
// (Simplified Logic)
document.addEventListener("mousemove", function(e) {
var d = new Date();
var time = d.toLocaleTimeString();
var trail = document.getElementById("trail");
trail.innerText = time;
trail.style.left = (e.pageX + 10) + "px";
trail.style.top = (e.pageY + 10) + "px";
});
</script>
<div id="trail" style="position:absolute; background:yellow; padding:2px;"></div>Frequently Asked Questions
