Coloured SquaresDHTML Signatures

Below is a table of links to animated signatures which I wrote to give my emails a bit of life without incurring the need to attach graphic files. Some of the signatures are more mathmatically artistic than others but I have marked what I consider to be the best ones with the word Favourite.

The animation routines currently required Internet Explorer 4 or later, both from the need for the JavaScript functionality and also to give the tables used for the graphics a background colour. Other browsers should* not cause errors to appear as code has been included to check for the presence of IE4 and only run the animation if found.

Signature
Description
Signature Static signature
Signature 1 Horizontal figure-of-eight of logo as a whole
Signature 2 Synchronous circular motion of table borders and squares
Signature 3 Synchronous circular motion of all signature elements
Signature 4 Unsynchronous circular motion of squares around bottom left of their home position
Signature 5 Unsynchronous circular motion of all signature elements
Signature 6 Unsynchronous anti-clockwise and clockwise motion of squares demonstrating z-indexes
Signature 7 Synchronous clockwise motion of squares returning to 'home'
Signature 8 Synchronous clockwise motion of squares combining in centre of cross
Signature 9 Undescribable interaction of squares! Favourite!
Signature 10 Semi-synchronous horizontal and vertical motion of squares either side of 'home' Favourite!
Signature 11 Semi-synchronous horizontal and vertical motion of squares outside of 'home'
Signature 12 Synchronous horizontal and vertical motion of squares outside of 'home'
Signature 13 Slow synchronous horizontal and vertical motion of squares outside of 'home'
Signature 14 Synchronous horizontal and vertical motion of each square inside and outside of 'home'

* During testing it appears that a bug in Netscape 3.01 Gold causes an error in the parsing of the JavaScript for signatures 6 to 14. It appears not to recognise the JavaScript switch construct. If anyone can confirm this I would be interested in hearing from you. Until I know for certain the reason behind the error I will leave all the signatures available to all browsers.
