Falling confetti on forumhome
Here is the deal. I want to add a javascript that will allow for falling confetti on our forum home. You see we are 1 member shy of breaking 100 members and it is something we would like to add for a week or so. Kind of a whoo hooo congrats to us all sort of thing.
I have tried adding the two different scripts I have directly to the forumhome template and the header templates (at seperate times), however neither have worked. It isn't showing them at all. When I add the scripts to normal html web pages they work fine. Cute little falling peices of confetti over the entire page.
Anyone ever tried doing this? I know I have had it in the past, but a dear friend of mine installed it for us at the time and I don't have a clue how he did it. Nor is he about for me to ask right at the moment, so I figured I would ask here.
The following are the two scripts I have been trying.
Script 1
This basicaly gives you 1 image repeatedly floating around the page.
Code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2">
<!-- Original: Altan (snow@altan.hr) -->
<!-- Web Site: http://www.altan.hr/snow -->
<!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
<!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->
<!-- Begin
var no = 25; // snow number
var speed = 10; // smaller number moves the snow faster
var snowflake = "http://www.your-web-site-address-here.com/snow.gif";

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 = 800, doc_height = 600;
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>");

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;

Script 2
This gives you 6 images floating over and down the page.
Code:

Any help would be much appreaciated.
EDIT:
I have gotten it to work sorta. It shows if it is being veiwed in IE, but now in foxfire. In foxfire, you see this pile of images stacked on top of one another not doing anything in the upper left hand corner of the screen.
Agian. It renders fine in IE and Foxfire on a basic html page, just not in foxfire on the forum. Any suggestions or reasons why it isn't rendering in foxfire on the forum? |
