AvoidingLink



You can try to make your homepage visitors go to pieces with this applet. Applet simply draw normal underlined blue textlink on screen but when user move mouse over that link, it will soon warp to another place, away from the mouse pointer. Of course, if user manage to click mouse button before link moves away, then it works like normal link and opens defined url.

Of course link have to stay inside applet, so remember to make sure that link have enough moving space by making applet large enough. ("Width"- and "Height"-parameters in "Applet"-tag defines applet size.)
