This will give your site a classic holiday snow fall without any images, uploading any files, or adding any server load to your site.

It is also customize-able to fit your needs. :)

Classic Snow Fall

In your footer at the very end, below

Code:

</vb:if>

</div>

And below any other scripts you may already have there. Add the following

Code:

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">

/*

Classic Snow Fall - Java Script

*/



// Set the number of snowflakes (more than 30 - 40 not recommended)

var snowmax=35



// Set the colors for the snow. Add as many colors as you like

var snowcolor=new Array("#aaaacc","#ddddff","#ccccdd","#f3f3f3","#f0ffff")



// Set the fonts, that create the snowflakes. Add as many fonts as you like

var snowtype=new Array("Times","Arial","Times","Verdana")



// Set the letter that creates your snowflake (recommended: * )

var snowletter="*"



// Set the speed of sinking (recommended values range from 0.3 to 2)

var sinkspeed=0.6



// Set the maximum-size of your snowflakes

var snowmaxsize=30



// Set the minimal-size of your snowflakes

var snowminsize=8



// Set the snowing-zone

// Set 1 for all-over-snowing, set 2 for left-side-snowing

// Set 3 for center-snowing, set 4 for right-side-snowing

var snowingzone=1

If all is well as it should be, you're done.

Update 12-23-2011

Not a code update

Suggestion:

If you know your community has a lot of mobile web users, such as Apple iPod, setting the snow fall value count to 20 works best. (original value is 35).

Code:

// Set the number of snowflakes (more than 30 - 40 not recommended)

var snowmax=20
