    snow effect code not working

    I found this cool snow effect:

    <BODY>

    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2">
    <!-- Original: Altan (snow@altan.hr) -->
    <!-- Web Site: http://www.altan.hr/snow -->

    <!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->

    <!-- Begin
    var no = 25; // snow number
    var speed = 10; // smaller number moves the snow faster
    var snowflake = "http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v132/username/snow3.gif";

    var ns4up = (document.layers) ? 1 : 0; // browser sniffer
    var ie4up = (document.all) ? 1 : 0;
    var dx, xp, yp; // coordinate and position variables
    var am, stx, sty; // amplitude and step variables
    var i, doc_width = 800, doc_height = 600;
    if (ns4up) {
    doc_width = self.innerWidth;
    doc_height = self.innerHeight;
    } else if (ie4up) {

    yp[i] = Math.random()*doc_height;
    am[i] = Math.random()*20; // set amplitude variables
    stx[i] = 0.02 + Math.random()/10; // set step variables
    sty[i] = 0.7 + Math.random(); // set step variables

    This may seem like a silly question, but did you change the username in this path to your own username?

    var snowflake = "http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v132/username/snow3.gif";

    Also, you show the closing body tag after the script. The closing </body> tag should be after all of your Invision forum code, at the end of the page right before the closing </html> tag.

    yes I did change the username to my own username.

    thanks for your answer
