I'm planning on making a dynamic animation of a clock (analog) for a cursor image, but I've run into a few problems. In general, I'm planning on retrieving the system time and date and incorporating it into the cursor animation. Now here's the problem. The cursor gif is meant for a MySpace profile, which means I can't use any JavaScript for retrieving the system time / date. My only options are HTML / CSS code, and possibly incorporating some server-side scripting. So here's my question. What should I do? My first option is using PHP's image manipulation library to create a dynamic gif. The second option (if it's possible) is create a .swf file for the image. But does the cursor: url(); property in CSS allow swf files? Or are there any other options that would better suit my project? I'm hoping I don't have to use PHP for it, because I'm not well-versed with the image manipulation library in the first place.
