SnowStorm is a Javascript-driven snow effect that can be easily implemented into web pages.
It has been designed to be easy to use. A single Javascript file provideinto web pages.
It has been designed to be easy to use. A single Javascript file provides the functionality required; the only other files needed are the images of snowflakes themselves.
SnowStorm works under most of the current major browsers (IE 5.x+, Netscape 6+). Testing has been limited to those browsers on PC/Mac. If you are seeing snow as you read this, then the script is working as expected.
Thanks to the PNG format and a "wrapper" class written to support it, the benefits of alpha transparency can be seen on most browsers with this implementation. IE requires the use of a proprietary DXFilter to properly display PNG images with alpha transparency, but this is handled "automagically" by the PNG wrapper class.
The snow script relies on a PNG handler class to add PNG functionality where applicable. Support for PNG can be removed easily enough also, if desired. Slower machines on IE:win32 may notice slightly improved performance when using GIF over PNG, but this has not been thoroughly tested.
