Yeah, the effect is spiffy, but I sure wouldn't use it myself. *Intensely*
annoying after a very few moments. The programming itself is pretty
clever, mind you.
As for why it doesn't work in MSIE 4 -- because it wasn't intended to.
Here's the start of the relevant code:
* * *
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2">
// <!--
var userAgent=navigator.appName + " " + navigator.appVersion;
var agentInfo=userAgent.substring(0, 12);
if(agentInfo >= "Netscape 4.0")
{
window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEMOVE);
* * *
As you see, the script checks for NS 4 and executes only if it's found.
