Try This For Some Fun

Copy the below and paste into your address bar and hit Return.
You'll need to go to another page to stop it.


javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.getElementsByTagName("img"); DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+"px"; DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+"px"}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(O);

Did nothing in Safari :()

[Mr Grumps]

Didn't do anything in IE7 either. :suspect:

[Jhieminga]

nothing on Firefox 2 either.

It's trying to move the images no the current page around - although there's a fault in it, an additional space. This is the correct code:

javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.getElementsByTagName("img"); DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+"px"; DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+"px"}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(O);


Wow!! It works in firefox 2....that's amazing!
EDIT: ok for some reason the page is changing it when it's posted. Copy it, but on the last line change 'se tInterval' to 'setInterval' by just removing that rogue space. Then it'll work, promise.

[MightyGem]

Yes, very strange. If I go back to edit the post, that space isn't there. :confused:

[Mr Grumps]

Works well after that space removal. :cool:

All of the flying things still work if you click them (but took me a while to "catch" the Reply button!)

Very good!

Presumably this is related to the trick that some webpages have where a string of dangly stuff (or a clock, or whatever) follows your cursor around the page?

[robdesbois]

Yes - they put some extra images on the page. At a regular interval, the images are then moved to be near the current mouse cursor position.
In this case, the script finds all images on the page, then uses some yucky trigonometry to make the circle whatever position it is :8. I can't really be bothered to work out the maths :yuk:

[Jhieminga]

Works ok, but you'll need a page with relatively small images to get a good result. If you go to say this page (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ARCHER-FACTORY-AIR-NEW-PAINT-INT-GARMIN-430_W0QQitemZ180045467597QQihZ008QQcategoryZ63677QQrdZ1QQcmd ZViewItem)and paste the string in the address bar (removing the extra space of course) you'll see what I mean.

I never thought I'd see the day when sex was being used to sell light aircraft. Whatever next - will A and B deploy bikini-clad hosts at Farnborough and Paris? :)

will A and B deploy bikini-clad hosts at Farnborough and Paris? :)

Fingers crossed! :}

Heheheh!

That's great fun!

Now......how can I use it for mischief! :E

If you do it on the front page of pprune it looks great!
