Snow Effect

[mercepisode]

Hi all


Im trying to place an snow effect on my website yet it works fine on preview with the snow failing down yet when I upload onto my site the snow gifs are missing and aX for missing image appears.

The HMTL script im trying to put on is listed below and I place after <BODY.............. on the Act_BrochurePrimary edited with frontpage. For some reason the snow gif is not uploaded to my site yet Ive placed it inside Site Folder and even added it on the catalog as a hidden section but still no luck.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Aaron

Try replacing

var snowflake = "snow.gif";

with

var snowflake = "/acatalog/snow.gif";

and make sure that snow.gif (from your Site1) is in Advanced / Additional Files.


If that fails then please post the URL of your site so we can see it.

Many Thanks Norman its working fine now.

You could also check that Actinic didn't replace snow.gif with Snow.gif (capital 'S'). Check both the HTML and file name, I had some problems with Actinic doing some strange things in V6 (which were fine in V5).

If all else fails, just FTP the image to your site.

O.K. I see it's fixed now.

I had a similar script on my site, but it would often reck up 100% CPU usage when the snow was falling! Not quite sure why!
