Hi Peeps

I wondering if anyone could help me with this? Our last admin guy deleted our Christmas theme last year, I'm going through some old templates and I found it, see below:

/******************************************
Aaron's Snow Effect Script
******************************************/

//Configure below to change URL path to the snow image
var snowsrc="http://www.nirc.org.uk/snow.gif"
// Configure below to change number of snow to render
var no = 0;
// Configure whether snow should disappear after x seconds (0=never):
var hidesnowtime = 25;
// Configure how much snow should drop down before fading ("windowheight" or "pageheight")
var snowdistance = "windowheight";
///////////Stop Config//////////////////////////////////
var ie4up = (document.all) ? 1 : 0;
var ns6up = (document.getElementById&&!document.all) ? 1 : 0;
function iecompattest(){
return (document.compatMode && document.compatMode!="BackCompat")? document.documentElement : document.body
}
var dx, xp, yp; // coordinate and position variables
var am, stx, sty; // amplitude and step variables
var i, doc_width = 800, doc_height = 600;

if (ns6up) {
doc_width = self.innerWidth;
doc_height = self.innerHeight;
} else if (ie4up) {
doc_width = iecompattest().clientWidth;
doc_height = iecompattest().clientHeight;
}
dx = new Array();
xp = new Array();
yp = new Array();
am = new Array();
stx = new Array();
sty = new Array();
snowsrc=(snowsrc.indexOf("dynamicdrive.com")!=-1)? "snow.gif" : snowsrc
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 (ie4up||ns6up) {
if (i == 0) {
document.write("<div id=\"dot"+ i +"\" style=\"POSITION: absolute; Z-INDEX: "+ i +"; VISIBILITY: visible; TOP: 15px; LEFT: 15px;\"><a href=\"http://dynamicdrive.com\"><img src='"+snowsrc+"' border=\"0\"><\/a><\/div>");
} else {
document.write("<div id=\"dot"+ i +"\" style=\"POSITION: absolute; Z-INDEX: "+ i +"; VISIBILITY: visible; TOP: 15px; LEFT: 15px;\"><img src='"+snowsrc+"' border=\"0\"><\/div>");
}
}
}
function snowIE_NS6() { // IE and NS6 main animation function
doc_width = ns6up?window.innerWidth-10 : iecompattest().clientWidth-10;
doc_height=(window.innerHeight && snowdistance=="windowheight")? window.innerHeight : (ie4up && snowdistance=="windowheight")? iecompattest().clientHeight : (ie4up && !window.opera && snowdistance=="pageheight")? iecompattest().scrollHeight : iecompattest().offsetHeight;
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();
}
dx[i] += stx[i];
document.getElementById("dot"+i).style.top=yp[i]+"px";
document.getElementById("dot"+i).style.left=xp[i] + am[i]*Math.sin(dx[i])+"px";
}
snowtimer=setTimeout("snowIE_NS6()", 10);
}
function hidesnow(){
if (window.snowtimer) clearTimeout(snowtimer)
for (i=0; i<no; i++) document.getElementById("dot"+i).style.visibility="hidden"
}

if (ie4up||ns6up){
snowIE_NS6();
if (hidesnowtime>0)
setTimeout("hidesnow()", hidesnowtime*1000)
}
</script>
</script>
<style type="text/css">
.stepcarousel{
position: relative; /*leave this value alone*/
border: 10px solid black;
overflow: scroll; /*leave this value alone*/
width: 270px; /*Width of Carousel Viewer itself*/

}
.stepcarousel .belt{

.stepcarousel .panel{

overflow: hidden; /*clip content that go outside dimensions of holding panel DIV*/
margin: 10px; /*margin around each panel*/
width: 250px; /*Width of each panel holding each content. If removed, widths should be individually defined on each content DIV then. */
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
stepcarousel.setup({
galleryid: 'mygallery', //id of carousel DIV
beltclass: 'belt', //class of inner "belt" DIV containing all the panel DIVs
panelclass: 'panel', //class of panel DIVs each holding content
autostep: {enable:true, moveby:1, pause:3000},
panelbehavior: {speed:500, wraparound:false, persist:true},
defaultbuttons: {enable: true, moveby: 1, leftnav: ['http://i34.tinypic.com/317e0s5.gif', -5, 80], rightnav: ['http://i38.tinypic.com/33o7di8.gif', -20, 80]},
statusvars: ['statusA', 'statusB', 'statusC'], //register 3 variables that contain current panel (start), current panel (last), and total panels
contenttype: ['inline'] //content setting ['inline'] or ['ajax', 'path_to_external_file']
})
</script>

I'm in no way a coder or a graphic designer, but I'd like to be able to get this back up and running for Chrimbo, so If anyone could help me that would be great.

Regards,
Dave

That isnt Aaron's snow effect as listed at the top of your thread. It was swiped from Dynamic Drive and he removed the copyright to try and authenticate it as his.

Go here: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex3/snow.htm

All instructions and code are free to use as long as copyright is intact.

Simples!
