Now if nothing happens when you move your mouse over the golden sphere, it is probably because your browser does not support Java script mouse rollover events. Both Netscape 4 and Explorer 4 do. If you don't have one of these browsers, it might be time to make the plunge, because creating these effects is not only fun and almost easy, but habit-forming as well.

The mouse-over effect was created in Xara 2 with the help of SPG Web Tools to use with this tutorial, though I have to warn you, once you've worked with them, you'll have to own them. They do much more than mouse roll-overs, but for this tutorial we'll just cover the roll-overs. So, if you'd just roll this way.
