Special Document Effects Stop Button?

SCRIPT: Autumn Leaves
http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex3/leaves.htm

I work for a spouting cleaning company and this is an excellent script for a gutter protection product we make. However the boss has asked if there is a way to create a button a viewer can click on to stop the script and have the leaves not show any more?

I understand they can turn off certain options for their particular browser but as New Zealand is yonks behind everyone else in computer use knowledge - this is not an option - he just wants a one click stop option...

If you can help with a link or scripty bit - you will have my eternal gratitude...

Others may want to comment, I'm not sure of the syntax for NS prior to NS6, but, here's the mod, works in IE6 and NS7.2:

Change this line in the script:

setTimeout('fall()',20);

to this:

falling=setTimeout('fall()',20);

add this function:

function stop_leaves(){
clearTimeout(falling);
for (i=0; i < Amount; i++){
if (ns){
document.layers['sn'+i].visibility='hide'}
else if (ns6){
document.getElementById("si"+i).style.display='none'}
else{
document.all['si'+i].style.display='none'}
}
}

just above the line:

window.onload=fall

add this button to your page:

<input type="button" value="Stop Leaves" onClick="stop_leaves();">

EXACTLY what I wanted - works like a dream for me here - you are wonderful!!

Instructions for us non-java people are clear and idiot proof - great stuff...
