Btw, I don’t really plan to support this plugin any further. It’s still available for downloads and should be secure, but I don’t plan to release any updates.

But you can hire me if you need something done for WordPress, PHP, JavaScript etc.

Works for me in IE8 just fine. The effect times out on purpose, that time is configurable as well.

On Firefox(on IE it never shows anything), The Rockets Goes upward but disappear immediately, They never explode to give us the firework effect. plus the effect comes to an end after 22 seconds.

Hm, works fine for me in FF and Chrome. You have to wait half a second or a second to see the effect.

Hi Uwe, at the top of this page you can read that other images are welcome. I am not a designer, I write code. Just send me your pictures.
I guess I’ll look into the rocket/explosion offset somewhen before new year.

Hi!

When critizing something, you should point out the positive sides first before you name the things that could be improved.

Well, let’s go on to the things that could be improved.

When the animation starts I get a nuclear age flashback. The rockets look like artillery grenades. You could simply leave them out because they destroy any poetic contents of “fireworks”.

The center of the fireworks explosion is offset to the position where the grenades disappear. Both images – the rocket and the much larger explosion – seem to be positioned top left, and not centered.

The 1994 style gifs look totally croppy: The visual appearance of the fireworks of several gifs is cropped!

You don’t mean it serious, do you?

Well, look at the source of this page. There’s a part in the section (include javascript) and in the foot (include images). You’ll probably have to edit the paths to the files in the HTML markup and the javascript file to make it work.

I have this crude fireworks script I got from about.com. Would you have any suggestions on how one could put your fireworks plugin so that it shows up on a page that’s not part of wordpress?

Hi Deviacium, it is very likely that it’s not possible (yet) to add the effect only to the main page. I will look into this issue soon.
