Not my tutorial. Found it online when I researched for a query in this forum itself.

Check this out... in Internet Explorer...

Just RUN this: [noparse]iexplore koolbluez.com/images/ants/ant.html[/noparse]

As you move your mouse around the page a swarming army of ants scattered about the window will chase after it. If an ant actually reaches the mouse cursor, we reposition it randomly around the edge of the window, and its chase starts again. The ant images are preloaded with a great image loading bar script, then the script begins. A great effect!

Kool effect.

No Ants effect here on Firefox 2.0.0.1 ... it shows
Code:
undefined

Any idea where's the problem?
Works fine on IE 7 and Opera 9.10 though. Didn't check IE 6.
