.js and .gif file was uploaded in binary.

Do you actually see the code for the mod when you do a test install?

If you don't then it was not uploaded in ascii properly.

A site addy would be good, we could view the source code then.

Shouldn't be relevant for a standard E-Blah install, but just in case...

I sat for more puzzled hours than I should have, when the snow effect failed to appear on my own pages after I installed it, but the E-Blah snow was falling perfectly on the forum within a frame on the same page.

There was actually nothing wrong with the code, and the problem was cleared when I removed the html declaration line. If you have one, it will look something like:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">

Any lines like this can be deleted safely, as they don't participate in rendering of the page.

ok.. now i'm getting:

Modify File: ./Code/BoardIndex.pl  (1 actions)
Source Code:
sub LoadIndex {
     if($URL{'a'} eq 'tog') { Tog(); }
     my($moderate,$postsandtops);
     $gdisable = 1;
     $title = $mbname;
     header();
     foreach (@catbase) {
          ($nme,$id) = split(/\|/,$_);
          if($id eq $URL{'c'}) { $catid = $id; $catname = $nme; last; }
     }
     if($URL{'c'} ne '') { $dirlist = qq~<a href="$surl">$mbname</a> &nbsp;<b>&#155; &nbsp;$catname</b>~; }
          else { $dirlist = "<b>$mbname</b>"; }

     $ebout .= <<"EOT";

After:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript1.2"><!--
var imgSrc = '/home/onlytwo/public_html/blahdocs/template/snow.gif';
var PicX = 20;
var PicY = 20;
var NumSnow = 15;
var fallRate = 0.010;
var driftRate = 8;
//--></script>
<script src="/home/onlytwo/public_html/blahdocs/template/snowfall.js" type="text/javascript" language="javascript1.2"></script>

--» Code not found in source ...

Upload a fresh copy of BoardIndex.pl to your code directory and then try to run it.
