Snow/rain effects run in the background?

[onlyima]

Hello! This may be an impossible thing to do or someone may have already asked this (but I can't find the thread), but is there a way to have the snow or rain effect run behind the contents of a web page? I'm making a little page that has a window image and I'd like to make it look like it's snowing or raining outside (effect behind the window image). Is this possible? Am I making sense? I really love the scripts (because I don't know how to do them) and would like to know. Thank you in advance!

Wouldn't an animated gif be better and less resource intensive than a rain script? Just a thought...

Probably, but I just wanted to know if it could be done.

Can be done, yes. You are talking about stacking and hiding divs, using mass JavaScript and/or Active X to run and transparency images etc.

By doing it you have virtually eliminated every browser from displaying it properly except FF 1.5 and up and IE 7 and Safari 9.

Animated gif would be much easier on you, less headache, display better in all browsers and still give the effect you want.

As long as it can be done, I'm for it. I don't mind that it's only limited to only a few browsers. It's a personal page; no one's really going to see it, or really be interested in viewing it.
