Run Javascript snow onclick

Question

I'm trying to run Dynamic Drive's JS Snow only ( http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex3/snow.htm ) once the user has clicked the button.

I have tried enclosing all the code in a function and running the function onclick but it just puts me on a white page with the snow frozen.

How would I do this?

Answer 1

1) Move this part into separate function:

function startStuff() {
    if (ie4up||ns6up){
        snowIE_NS6();
    if (hidesnowtime>0)
        setTimeout("hidesnow()", hidesnowtime*1000)
    }
}

2) Assign onclick event like <a href="#" onclick="startStuff()">start</a>
