[All Cms] Snow effect For Any Cms

Hey I was messing around In class last week and stumbled across this code, it was messy and wouldn't work so I fixed it and decided to release it:

Demo: http://thehabbos.info/


Code One: (Put this in your Headder of your Cms)

PHP Code:

---

<div class='SnowFall'>
<script src="./Snow.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</div> 


---

Then save it,

Then in the same directory as your headder make a flie called
Snow.js then paste this inside.

PHP Code:

---

Done Simple and effective!! :laugh::laugh: Any Questions im free to ask.

Lol Thanks I have wanted this just to lazy to get!

nicealway knew that it was a js ;D

great awesome release works for me @ wabbo.biz :)

Nice release, but what did you exacly change? :P

Very Nice, But you think u can make snow flakes a little bit bigger and re-rel for me please bro? thanksx!!

Whatsup with the demo?

It's white snow with a black background***

You need to change the body tag to <body bgcolor="#000000">, vistadoesntwork

It's white with a black background because it's easier to see (a better demo), how would the snow be good with a white background..

This is pretty good because of Christmas

I see. But you could just change the colour of the snow if you are using a white background

Code:

---

document.write('<div id="flake'+(idx+i)+'" style="position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;width:'
+sfs[i]+'px;height:'+sfs[i]+'px;background-color:#ffffff;font-size:'+sfs[i]+'px"><\/div>');

---

Uhmmm.
Past this in your header. And ist the Same Effect.
Your release is nice. But i could be mutch Simpler ;)

PHP Code:

---

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://images.yabbos.be/snow.js"> 


---

Nice Release,

this is a basic js script, you can find in any site at the web .-.

so who cares he released it for those who want it and dont know how to get it/ pm noobs ;p

Thanks for the comments , will change demo now...
It was just a simple layout. but ill change

New Demo : http://thehabbos.info/

Any One Having problems seeing the snow?
You can change the colour by searching for : #ffffff
then change it, E.G to green : #00ff00

Actually most of them use an image (.GIF ) and wont randomly generate different sizes, yes I found this script online but the Random position didn't work and the random size didn't work as well as the size it was originally 1000px by 1000px now it fills the screen.

heres code for snow falls to be bigger and fall faster :P

but always work out that way(load img{.gif cuz is low res and size} and create a random position...still a simple script!.
:ott1:

Yes but wouldn't that Eat Your Bandwidth if your using a webhost?

Please do give credits and not comment code that you didn't make
