This is rather a short post but I find this codepen by Bård N Hovde so awesome that I must share it with you:
Amazing what you can do with JavaScript and CSS, agree?
Please leave a comment if you like this as well or managed to hit the button. Also don't forget to follow me here and on Twitter for more upcoming posts!
Ha, I saw this other day - it's fantastic :)
For anyone looking in the code for the 'trick' (of hiding the mouse), it's done by setting the cursor in JS on this line:
const screenStyle = cursorGrabbed ? { cursor: "none" } : {};
and then the fake mouse pointer is part of the hand graphic. Brilliant!
Oh, so there is a cursor trick! I've seen it on my mobile, where you can obviously just tap on things, so I hadn't caught on this feature.
That... was awesome! It really made me laugh loud in the office 👍🤣
Thanks for sharing this!
Pretty fun, with a combination of fast mouse movements and right-click trickery, I managed to produce a waving hand without changing any of the code.

The most fun I had with this was keeping the pointer just out of reach. This probably says more about me than I'd rather admit. 🤣
Brilliant use of CSS and logic. Had so much fun playing around with this.
And using the Chrome Dev Console, clicked the button using Javascript, this was the result.
Cool that the dev included that as well :)
I caught the button by using the Tab :)
I remember doing this same trick before with Visual Basic 6, more than a decade ago :)
That is so cool! I am going to give that a go ~ if you don't mind! Well Done!
Yes, it is! Click on the text above the button (to gain focus) and use TAB to select the button, now press SPACE or ENTER. You have pressed the button and it changes the caption to "Nice one".
While it is technically not "clickable", it is indeed "pressable", to use your own word ;)
Am I the only one who keeps trying to press the button? Like, i've been at it for 10 minutes? 😂
The person who created this post is a very nice person. It seems like a lot of people are having fun here. I love how you share posts every day. 메이저사이트
