Creating
Falling Snow on HTML Pages
Being a hardware/software
fanatic, I was doing my daily rounds around popular
computing sites checking up on the day's latest downloads.
Because it was the holiday season, numerous sites had their
layouts and graphics changed to reflect the holiday season.
One site,
WinDrivers.com, had something that I had never seen
before in a Web site; falling snow that goes over text and
other objects.
This effect is the same as
the falling snow you saw in this page a moment earlier.
Here's how to create this effect:
-
Open your HTML page that you wish to apply the falling
snow effect to in Notepad or another HTML editor.
-
Find the section of code between your <body> and </body>
tags. Copy and paste the code from the following box
between your body ( <body> , </body> ) tags:
[ copy and
paste the above code in your HTML page ]
-
Simply save the file and preview it in your browser
(Internet Explorer preferably).
Conclusion
I'd like to thank Scott Hermanson of WinDrivers.com for
being generous enough to answer my e-mail with the
JavaScript file during the busy holiday season. If you
haven't seen his site, be sure to point your browser to:
