Text following mouse

Written by @kerixa 21 August 2012

Putting a beautiful and special style for the cursor will make your website more beautiful and your website visitors will stay on your website longer. In the following code a text rotates around the cursor and wherever the mouse cursor goes, the text moves and follows the cursor. You can change this text to what you want and enjoy!

Code Snippet:

                                                
                                                <!-- this script is provided by https://www.javascriptfreecode.com coded by: Kerixa Inc. -->

<style>
#outerCircleText {
    color: #000;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    z-index: 3000;
    cursor: default;
}

#outerCircleText div {
    position: relative;
}

#outerCircleText div div {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    text-align: center;
}
</style>
<script>
; (function () {

    var msg = "javascript free code";

    // Set font's style size for calculating dimensions
    // Set to number of desired pixels font size (decimal and negative numbers not allowed)
    var size = 14;

    // Set both to 1 for plain circle, set one of them to 2 for oval
    // Other numbers & decimals can have interesting effects, keep these low (0 to 3)
    var circleY = 1; var circleX = 1;

    // The larger this divisor, the smaller the spaces between letters
    // (decimals allowed, not negative numbers)
    var letter_spacing = 4;

    // The larger this multiplier, the bigger the circle/oval
    // (decimals allowed, not negative numbers, some rounding is applied)
    var diameter = 22;

    // Rotation speed, set it negative if you want it to spin clockwise (decimals allowed)
    var rotation = 0.2;

    // This is not the rotation speed, its the reaction speed, keep low!
    // Set this to 1 or a decimal less than one (decimals allowed, not negative numbers)
    var speed = 0.5;
