Code:

<!--

var x,y
var step=20
var flag=0

var message="Anoop Sankar"
message=message.split("")

var xpos=new Array()
for (i=0;i<=message.length-1;i++) {
	xpos[i]=-50
}

var ypos=new Array()
for (i=0;i<=message.length-1;i++) {
	ypos[i]=-50
}

function handlerMM(e){
	x = (document.layers) ? e.pageX : document.body.scrollLeft+event.clientX
	y = (document.layers) ? e.pageY : document.body.scrollTop+event.clientY
	flag=1
}

function makesnake() {
	if (flag==1 && document.all) {
    	for (i=message.length-1; i>=1; i--) {
   			xpos[i]=xpos[i-1]+step
			ypos[i]=ypos[i-1]
    	}
		xpos[0]=x+step
		ypos[0]=y

    	}
	}
	
	else if (flag==1 && document.layers) {
    	for (i=message.length-1; i>=1; i--) {
   			xpos[i]=xpos[i-1]+step

    	}
		xpos[0]=x+step
		ypos[0]=y

    		var thisspan = eval("document.span"+i)
    		thisspan.left=xpos[i]
			thisspan.top=ypos[i]
    	}
	}
		var timer=setTimeout("makesnake()",1)
}
// -->
</script>

First of all I have a confession. Stole this code a long time ago from some website.. But i think i modified it later and i can't make it work properly now.. any ideas?

You are in luck. I was just looking at the original last night. Here it is:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script>
<!-- Beginning of JavaScript -

var x,y
var step=20
var flag=0

// Your snappy message. Important: the space at the end of the sentence!!!
var message="H e l l o W o r l d !"
message=message.split("")

var xpos=new Array()
for (i=0;i<=message.length-1;i++) {
	xpos[i]=-50
}

var ypos=new Array()
for (i=0;i<=message.length-1;i++) {
	ypos[i]=-50
}

function handlerMM(e){
	x = (document.layers) ? e.pageX : event.clientX
	y = (document.layers) ? e.pageY : event.clientY
	flag=1
}

function makesnake() {
	if (flag==1 && document.all) {
    	for (i=message.length-1; i>=1; i--) {
   			xpos[i]=xpos[i-1]+step
			ypos[i]=ypos[i-1]
    	}
		xpos[0]=x+step
		ypos[0]=y
	
		for (i=0; i<message.length-1; i++) {
    		var thisspan = eval("document.all.span"+(i)+".style")
    		thisspan.posLeft=xpos[i]
			thisspan.posTop=ypos[i]
    	}
	}
	
	if (flag==1 && document.layers) {
    	for (i=message.length-1; i>=1; i--) {
   			xpos[i]=xpos[i-1]+step
			ypos[i]=ypos[i-1]
    	}
		xpos[0]=x+step
		ypos[0]=y
	
		for (i=0; i<message.length-1; i++) {
    		var thisspan = eval("document.span"+i)
    		thisspan.left=xpos[i]
			thisspan.top=ypos[i]
    	}
	}
		var timer=setTimeout("makesnake()",10)
}

// - End of JavaScript - -->
</script>

.spanstyle {

}

if (document.layers){
	document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEMOVE);
