- What is JavaScript? JavaScript is a programming language that originated with Netscape. It's very easy to use and makes your Web site more interactive to visitors.
- What is Java? Introduced by Sun Microsystems in 1995, Java is a programming language that was designed for the internet environment. It can be used to write programs which can be embedded in your Web site.
- What is the difference between JavaScript and Java? Java creates stand alone applications, like applets, JavaScript does not. JavaScript was developed to interact with the HTML of a Web site. On my pages labeled "Java" all of the examples are JavaScript, with the exception of the Java Applets in section 3 and the hover buttons in Section 2.

You can use hearts, stars, snowflakes, leaves, whatever you would like. I have some images (user name=abc password=123) on my page that you can use, if you decide to use them please link back to me =) If you use an image other than the snowflake, you will need to replace the gif filename in the above code. It's a little tricky to find, but it is located on the 9th line of the above code. Replace the word "snow" with the name of your new gif.
Here is another, cross browser snowflake script from Peter Gehrig. This script does not require any images, and works on all browsers:
How do I make snow fall UP on my Web page? (IE only) I had a lot of people ask me if I had a script that would let objects go UP instead of down, so I altered Altan's script and came up with this, I think it's awesome!!! Some good ideas for objects would be balloons, bubbles, butterflies, birds, kites etc. You can use 3 images, or more or less if you want, just change the image names in line 10, 11, and 12:
How do I make a trailing cursor with text? (IE only) This is a REALLY awesome script that makes any word, phrase or sentence you pick follow your cursor. You can even pick which font and font color you would like. Add this tag in your head tag, making sure you substitute your message and your font name and color (this script is used here with written permission of the author (Peter Gehrig--visit his page, he has lots of cool scripts!!):
