Meph, I guess you didn't get my message that that animation is NOT by
Taro. It is by jgs. TaRo merely coloured it. 

Joan's original is at:

http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Studios/9334/jgsfirewrk.htm

and was done in 1997

She has her version on her page as well but alas has not yet copied the
code fix I did so that hers will work in MSIE4 as well as Netscape3. But
it has come to my attention that my Javascript animations may have some
awful text wrap in Netscape 4. (How I hate it when programmers "improve"
things)

Because Joan's animation works only for NS, and if you have NS4, look at
it the original animation at:

Please note that Joan Stark aka Spunk aka jgs drew the fireworks and
most of the city skyline. I only altered the drawing by putting in the
CN Tower, Skydome and the boats.
