This code is to create a mouse trail! The problem is when it is uploaded on my site it does not work. Some is in java and I am using html. Does anyone know how to fix this problem, because in fontpage 2003 it previews fine intill it is uploaded.

Thanks for any help

<style type="text/css">

.mouse
{
position:absolute;
visibility:visible;
top:-50px;
font-size:12px;
font-family:arial;
font-weight:bold;
color:white;
}
body
{
width:100%;
overflow-x:hidden;
overflow-y:scroll;
}

</style>

function anddo(e){
x = (document.layers) ? e.pageX : document.body.scrollLeft+event.clientX
y = (document.layers) ? e.pageY : document.body.scrollTop+event.clientY
