Okay, I've re-read your original post and find that you are (ta da!)
right. This line:

suggests you will need to employ the "onmousemove" event function.

To outline:

* Make/acquire a routine to get the mouse coordinates.
* Make/acquire a routine to position what you wish based on these
coordinates. Don't forget you will have to allow for the width and
height of the re-po'ed element/container and provide a suitable offset.
* Put both routines in a function that is called by the "onmousemove"
event handler.

I've done this a number of times in the past and it isn't exceptionally
hard but it is time consuming.
