Circling Text effect in HTML using Java-script

Hi. Today I will show you how to make circling text effect in your webpage. It is a simple java-script that will allow your characters to follow cursor.

Below is the sample code. Just copy it to notepad and save it as any html file. then run it in your browser.

Change the values of x and y diameter and also speed,letter-spacing to achieve different effects.
