Help please? + Rep

[myke]

Ok, in my layout I have snowflakes falling from the top of the page, using a marquee however any links on the page don't show as links they're just like normal underlined text? I'm using iframes for the main content so... any tips?

[Samster]

Link to site so we can see the problem?

look on dymanic drive for a better way to have snow flakes then using a marquee.

It's not uploaded, ok Colin, I'll check now.

Sorry for double post, I can't edit. Colin, I can't find any that work with Mozilla Firefox ;[

The following script has potential, however it is image based although is compatible with the Mozilla browser interference:

with images:
http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex3/snow.htm
without:
http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex3/snownoimages.htm

both work in firefox i was using them earlier today

Colin, in Mozilla, they're zooming across the top bar going left not down.
