How can i make the snow go faster on my page? I change the speed number and there is no difference.

Could you post the code for us?

The smaller the number the faster it goes, yet it doesnt work.

especially read this sentence:

var speed = 9; // smaller number moves the snow faster

The SMALLER the number, not the bigger :) so change it to 1 or something. Hope that helps! good luck

Love,

If you read my post, i did acknowledge that that was not working for my page....

var no = 15; // snow number
var speed = 9; // smaller number moves the snow faster
var snowflake = "snow.gif";


try changing 9 to 1, and 15 to 30 or something.

Love,
Mirna

the 15 is the amount of snow
the 9 is the speed

I KNOW THIS! Please stop telling me that.

The problem is that when I change the 9 to 1 it doesn't change the speed at all. And it doesnt even matter how many snowflakes I have. I want to know why it isnt changing speed, and what I can do (if anything) to make it go faster.

Do you want us to help or not? I looked at the script below yours where the snow falls UP and there the numbers where changed so i was just experimenting to HELP you. I guess it didn't helped, well ok then we know that too.

Did you get the script from DynamicDrive.com? If so, you might want to email the webmaster and tell them your troubles. Meanwhile, we'll keep fiddling around to see what we can do.

it's from lissa, see in the code:
