For those with cool web browsers like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mozilla.com\/firefox\/\">Firefox 1.5+<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opera.com\/\">Opera 9<\/a> (or even the not-cool browser Internet Explorer with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adobe.com\/svg\/viewer\/install\/main.html\">Adobe SVG Viewer<\/a> plugin) you might need to right-click in the image frame to force reload ... or wait until your browser's cache pops.

If anyone can let me know if a <a href=\"http:\/\/nightly.webkit.org\/\">Safari nightly build<\/a> displays the snow yet, that would be awesome - you can consider it your Christmas present to me.<\/p>\n<p>Hm, I wonder if I should try to modify <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.codedread.com\/archives\/2006\/01\/05\/svg-toy-libraries-drag-and-snow\/\">the library<\/a> to use the Dojo2D API in the <a href=\"http:\/\/dojotoolkit.org\/\">Dojo toolkit<\/a> for that true cross-browser effect.  That might prove to be a fun little project and a good way to dip my toe in the Ajax toolkit pool...<\/p>\n<p><i>[Update: Merry Christmas to me.
