snowflakes *help needed*

[seros]

Hello,
so I wanted to add some "snowflakes" in java to my COppermine Gallery, which are falling down (java script). You may know it. So I think I have to add it to the theme "template.html" But it doesn't work:
Here is what I've done:

1. added the Code in the template.html after: <link rel="stylesheet" href="themes/water_drop/style.css" /> (ca. line

After it I've added the image of course to the folder ...

Doesnt't work. So thanks so far.

Oh ok, thanks a lot. By the way I like your site a lot, how did you do the "Random gallery scroll" Is there a mod? Like this too.

seros "forgot" to post where he got the snowflakes script from, so here you go (contains a demo as well): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex3/snow.htm

Sorry, but i forgot it really ... and there are more websites containing the same script, not only your website you have posted here
