OMG, this java snow applet is driving me completely insane!!  I have been working on it for 2 days straight!  Here is what I have done.  I downloaded the lake.class, I put the java snow code in the Header, set height and width for the whole page (which didn't work, so then made it the size of my banner), I believe I need to make sure he lake.class file is also in the header....but I can't find a way to get it there.  I tried copying it, I tried to upload it to photobucket...just can't seem to get it to the test site.

Any ideas?  I am obviously missing something....can anyone please assist me?  I am not real computer savvy, but I can follow detailed instructions.

On my first test site, I have all kinds of cool things going that actually work..but am obsessed with getting java snow applet on our site! lol

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Is this the one you are using?

Okay Ive figured it out and have it working.
BUT

You need someplace you can upload the snow.class file to or the lake.class file to depending on which one you are wanting to use.   You need to upload the picture to the same place.   Can you upload it to your personal webspace with your ISP?    If that is not a possibility you will need to look around for a file hosting place that will allow you to upload the .class file.     

Let me know if you find a way to do that and Ill then show you how to edit the code so that it will work for you.

I just checked fileupyours and it WILL work there.
(remember they delete nonactive accounts after 25 days and they seriously do it)

Ill post the code as I did it there so you can see how it works:
(this is for the snow effect)

This will go in  the Header:

<center>
<applet code="snow" codebase="http://www.fileupyours.com/files/142342/snoweffect/" width="280" height="225">
<param name="strength" value="6">
<param name="image" value="http://www.fileupyours.com/files/142342/snoweffect/mypic.jpg">
<param name="html" value="http://www.ibdprince.com/java.shtml">
</applet>
</center>


What you will need to do is make a folder wherever you DO upload the two files to.
Upload the files inside that folder.   In my example I made a folder called snoweffect.

Replace http://www.fileupyours.com/files/142342/snoweffect/  in the first line with  the folder url   
(the folder the files are in- leave snow.class off the end)

Replace  http://www.fileupyours.com/files/142342/snoweffect/mypic.jpg   with the pictures url
Change the width and height to match the width and height of the picture you use.

Change "strength" as you want it:  Strength Values = 1 to 10 (10 = very heavy)

Here is an example so that you can see that it works.

okay ..   let me know if you have any trouble with it

Melody   COOL!    Glad you got it working     

I'm not sure how you would be able to use that applet to do it over the entire screen.
