David
Griffiths' Original Snow Applet requires only one
image file and one class file.This applet demo uses an
image file from freefoto.com.
Your image can be .gif or .jpg.
He closed his web site,
www.spigots.com,
a few years ago to pursue other projects. Since I do
not have permission to offer the files, I searched for
other sites offering it. At the time I searched, there
wasn't a site taking over distributing this great
applet. But recently I found a reliable source at CodeBrain.
Go there to download the applet files.
Also, I found a similar
applet at JavaPowered
called a Snowy Applet. Two files and a short code. You
can use that in place of this one, if you want, but
there is nothing like the original.
Below
the applet is the adjusted code which is entered in
the Insert HTML element:
Once
you've finished entering the code in the HTML element,
resize the element to the width and height you entered
in the code. Place the element where you want it
to appear on your page.
Make
sure you upload your image and the snow.class file to
your Files Manager. Otherwise, you won't have a
working applet - all you'll see is a gray box.

Explanations:
The
parameter of strength/ value is how strong of a
snowstorm you want. Use any value from 1 to 10. A
value of 1 is light. A value of 10 is the strongest.
I used 1.
If
you want the image to link to a page, add this line
after the 1st <param name> statement and before
the </applet> statement:
<param
name=href value="theurl.html">
If
you want the linked image to go to a frame, add this
line to the code after the link param and before the
</applet> tag:
<param
name=target value="thenewframe">
Please
close this window to return to the Applet
Index page.
