Hi Patty, I copied the code used by the marshalltownhighschool58.com site into your site. I added it as an annoucement so you can turn it on and off whenever you wish without having to find the code for it in home page code. Here is the script that I added in case anyone else wants to use it: //Autumn leaves- by Kurt Grigg (kurt.grigg@virgin.net) //Pre-load your image below! Amount=8; //Smoothness depends on image file size, the smaller the size the more you can use! if (ns){ window.onload=fall

I would love to learn how to have a moving image on my homepage. I saw the website that had it I read to read the instructions posted. I have java script., but don't know whether or not it's 1.2. PLUS I didn't understand any of the instructions. Am I able to just copy and paste it somewhere in order to initialize it? I am not computer savvy, but I am going to keep this website for over 2 years as our 50th class reunion will not be until 2013.

I only have two (2) leaves falling when I put the above code in an announcement. Last year I had more leaves falling, but they were isolated to only one part of the entire page. I still saved that announcement to use again, but I really don't like the way it looks. How can you add more leaves to float all the way down and all across the home page? Thanks for anyone's help.

"Waiting with baited breath" to see if anyone else had problems with that script - I got only a couple of leaves in the upper left hand corner of the top of the page.

I would always add seasonal items like this as an annoucement - if you don't already have it under that section you might want to move it there becuase it is less likely to mix with other code already on the page and much easier to turn off when you are ready to add falling snow instead of falling leaves Once you select Create an Annoucement make sure you click the source button in the upper left corner of the content editor window that comes up and then drop the code into the source view and save the page.

leaf1.gif The leaves falling in the "background" of the page are from the "fall-ing leaves forum" from earlier this month, on Building blocks. You can change up the background color of your choice, and vary it depending on your mood and needs. Here's the code that i used last year, saved in an announcement, and it works this year...if you have too many "third party objects" to load, getting the leave to fall takes a little time, but as far as i can tell, these work. Very similar to Jessica's but i am illiterate when it comes to code and my eyes go crazy at times, seems that there's a slight difference in the total image numbers(amount),but what do i know?!...good luck. And try to "have Fun"! Next month, there are leaves and Bats!yeehah! (Thanks,Ann!) //Autumn leaves- by Kurt Grigg (kurt.grigg@virgin.net) //Pre-load your image below!
if (ns){ window.onload=fall

Bonita, I can't get any of these codes to work on my site. Anyone else have something that actually might work?

The JavaScript code above doesn't seem to work in Internet Explorer IF Instant Messaging is turned on. It seems you have to make a choice - disable IM or have Falling Leaves. When I tried it last on FireFox, it worked just fine.

Kyle - I saved my falling leaves from last year as an announcement. Now when I click "Active", nothing happens (and I'm using Firefox). Do you have any idea what's going on with it? Thanks... Betsy

Your image you are using is supposed to be found at http://pageplugins.com http://www.pageplugins.com/generators/falling_objects/objects/leaf.gif But it seems that pageplugins.com has let their domain name expire, so the image cannot be found.

I was afraid something like this would happen and I would have to start over. So I copied the source code Jessica posted above, but where do I get the images of the leaves?

The code from DynamicDrive.com is missing one slight modification for it to work on Firefox. It needs to change from THIS: TO THIS: -- notice the additional "px" at the end of the lines. I changed your code and now it will work on Firefox (but not Internet Explorer unless you turn off Instant Messaging)

When I tried it last on FireFox, it worked just fine. Another option here is to make the announcement be for NON-LOGGED IN ONLY. This way, Instant Messaging won't get in the way because IM is only active when you are logged in.

Kyle I copied the code from dynamic and updated the lines for Firefox as you suggested. I have it set up as an announcement "Falling Leaves" The issue is that all of the leaves are falling in the very upper left hand hand corner. It did this when I set it up as its own page as well. any thought?

FallingLeavesScript.txt I have attached the falling leaves script I use on my website. It works with Instant Message turned on and in both FireFox and Internet Explorer. Inserting code directly into the forums doesn't seem to work correctly anymore.

Gwen, It works fine in FireFox. I have e-mailed you the attachment. I have the programmers looking into why the attachment doesn't work with Internet Explorer. Kyle
