Mouse Over Animated Periodic Table

Me and a smart but not quite smart enough ai friend (and an xml validator) spent the whole afternoon making and brainstorming errors and fixing typos and weird hallucinations (hope I got them all?!) until we made this somewhat interactive colorful periodic table animation. Still not perfect, the mouse over gets a little stubborn while animation is cycling etc. But if you move your mouse cursor over an element you get the full name, weight, and category. This blurs the lines of clipart and useful tool, but I thought someone might find this useful by itself, or as part of an online textbook or something. In any case, I thought I'd share. (And text isn't rendered to paths, so click the "source vector" file here to see it work correctly of course.)
