I thought I would share this code with you all. If any of you would like it to snow on your site, insert this code below. Also, don't forget to save the *.gif of the snow flake below as well.

Code
 <!-- TWO STEPS TO INSTALL SNOW:

1. Copy the coding into the BODY of your HTML document
2. Save the snow.gif image to your web site directory --><!-- STEP ONE:

Paste this code into the BODY of your HTML document --><script

LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2">

<!-- Web Site: http://www.y2killers.com -->

<!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
<!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->

<!-- Begin
var no = 30; // snow number
var speed = 15; // smaller number moves the snow faster
var snowflake = "http://YOUR-WEBADDRESS-HERE/snow.gif";

var ns4up = (document.layers) ? 1 : 0; // browser sniffer
var ie4up = (document.all) ? 1 : 0;
var dx, xp, yp; // coordinate and position variables
var am, stx, sty; // amplitude and step variables
var i, doc_width = 900, doc_height = 1000;
if (ns4up) {
doc_width = self.innerWidth;
doc_height = self.innerHeight;
} else if (ie4up) {
doc_width = document.body.clientWidth;
doc_height = document.body.clientHeight;
}
dx = new Array();
xp = new Array();
yp = new Array();
am = new Array();
stx = new Array();
sty = new Array();
for (i = 0; i < no; ++ i) {
dx[i] = 0; // set coordinate variables
xp[i] = Math.random()*(doc_width-50); // set position variables
yp[i] = Math.random()*doc_height;
am[i] = Math.random()*20; // set amplitude variables
stx[i] = 0.02 + Math.random()/10; // set step variables
sty[i] = 0.7 + Math.random(); // set step variables
if (ns4up) { // set layers
if (i == 0) {
document.write("<layer name="dot"+ i +"" left="15" ");
document.write("top="15" visibility="show"><img src="");
document.write(snowflake + "" border="0"></layer>");
} else {
document.write("<layer name="dot"+ i +"" left="15" ");
document.write("top="15" visibility="show"><img src="");
document.write(snowflake + "" border="0"></layer>");
}
} else if (ie4up) {
if (i == 0) {
document.write("<div id="dot"+ i +"" style="POSITION: ");
document.write("absolute; Z-INDEX: "+ i +"; VISIBILITY: ");
document.write("visible; TOP: 15px; LEFT: 15px;"><img src="");
document.write(snowflake + "" border="0"></div>");
} else {
document.write("<div id="dot"+ i +"" style="POSITION: ");
document.write("absolute; Z-INDEX: "+ i +"; VISIBILITY: ");
document.write("visible; TOP: 15px; LEFT: 15px;"><img src="");
document.write(snowflake + "" border="0"></div>");
}
}
}
function snowNS() { // Netscape main animation function
for (i = 0; i < no; ++ i) { // iterate for every dot
yp[i] += sty[i];
if (yp[i] > doc_height-50) {
xp[i] = Math.random()*(doc_width-am[i]-30);
yp[i] = 0;
stx[i] = 0.02 + Math.random()/10;
sty[i] = 0.7 + Math.random();
doc_width = self.innerWidth;
doc_height = self.innerHeight;
}
dx[i] += stx[i];
document.layers["dot"+i].top = yp[i];
document.layers["dot"+i].left = xp[i] + am[i]*Math.sin(dx[i]);
}
setTimeout("snowNS()", speed);
}
function snowIE() { // IE main animation function
for (i = 0; i < no; ++ i) { // iterate for every dot
yp[i] += sty[i];
if (yp[i] > doc_height-50) {
xp[i] = Math.random()*(doc_width-am[i]-30);
yp[i] = 0;
stx[i] = 0.02 + Math.random()/10;
sty[i] = 0.7 + Math.random();
doc_width = document.body.clientWidth;
doc_height = document.body.clientHeight;
}
dx[i] += stx[i];
document.all["dot"+i].style.pixelTop = yp[i];
document.all["dot"+i].style.pixelLeft = xp[i] + am[i]*Math.sin(dx[i]);
}
setTimeout("snowIE()", speed);
}
if (ns4up) {
snowNS();
} else if (ie4up) {
snowIE();
}
// End -->
</script>
<!-- STEP TWO: Save the snow.gif image to your web site directory -->
[Linked Image] <-- Here's the snow flake.

Also if you wanted to do something like this in the fall. You could get a *.gif of leaves and do it that way as well.

I know the code for IE says IE4. Don't worry, I'm running XP with IE6 and its working fine. It also works fine with the new version of Netscape.

Nice to see you publicize your code laugh

I personally don't really like snowflakes in the site, because although it's a good idea it makes it harder to read the text in the site and it starts to bug me after a while... but it might be pretty nice IMO if it stops after a while or if there is a button which disables/enables it smile
