Roving Eyes

Roving Eyes are superimposed on an image specified in an applet param. The eyes follow the mouse around the page, even beyond the borders of the applet (thanks to some simple JavaScript included in the example). It works with any VM—including Microsoft's 1.1 version. Tested in both IE and Firefox.
