Yes! That's exactly what I thought it was. Do you know of any script that does that?

I wrote one circa 2003, and there's an article about it here:

Yea well it can be done with Google analytics but requires some real in-depth knowledge and lots of setting things up. Clicktale (http://www.clicktale.com/) is another one but I don't have any experience with it.

Maybe there are other tools that I don't know of though.

CrazyEgg (http://crazyegg.com) and Inspectlet (http://inspectlet.com) do similar things. Mouse/click tracking, watching users as they move through your site, etc.
