I know it sounds cheesie, but can anyone point me in the direction of a script which will anchor a layer to the mouse postition?

It needs to be anchored to the mouse (0 or X pixels away) and not track like some of the mouse effects you see around.

Anyone know of an existing script or can help in anyother way?

TIA

<html>

<head>

<script language="JavaScript1.2">

xoff = 20;
yoff = 40;

document.onmousemove = getMouseXY;

function getMouseXY(e) {
tempX = event.clientX + document.body.scrollLeft
tempY = event.clientY + document.body.scrollTop
document.getElementById("follow").style.left = tempX + xoff;
document.getElementById("follow").style.top = tempY + yoff;
return true
}

</script>

</head>

<body>

<div id="follow" style="position:absolute;">hello</div>

</body>

</html>

Any good?
