Thanks for your function, Laurent - that works fine on Internet Explorer and
Firefox. Just for the record, here is the complete page.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

<meta content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" http-equiv=Content-Type>
</head>
<body>

<img src='cat1.gif' ID="myImage"
style="position:absolute;top:0px;left:-500px">
</img>
</body>
<script>

function mousefollower(e){
x = (!document.all)? e.pageX : event.x+document.body.scrollLeft;

y = (!document.all)? e.pageY : event.y+document.body.scrollTop;

document.getElementById('myImage').style.left = x;

document.getElementById('myImage').style.top = y;

}

document.onmousemove=mousefollower

</script>
</html>

Thanks to Troy for the inital help, too.

Laurent - I am so surprised that you are from London. With a name like
yours, I had always assumed you were from Mexico, or southern Europe, and
imagined you sitting on some sun-baked veranda to do your coding!

Tim in Ireland.
