Hi zhoway, You wrote about your problems with animated GIFs when offline. Some simple solutions: 1) If you use IE5 and do a File->Save As, you can select the default "Web Page, Complete" This will save the HTML page along with all graphics in a folder on your local browser machine all links work on this page so that when off line, you can view the page and animated gifs just as if you had a FAST T3 Line! 2) Using other browsers you can manually save the Animated GIFS by right clicking on the GIF and SAVE AS. If you don't have an Animated GIF viewer, you can make an HTML page that includes the local gif images and use your browser to view your local HTML file that contains: <html> <head> <title>My LOCAL ZOPE GIFS</title> </head> <body> <img src="demo1.gif"> </body> </html> *---- By the way, I understand that there is a european protest today to stop the local telephone companies from charging "by the minute" for internet access. It was only 5 years ago that I was paying by the minute. Start a movement.... -Bob OConnor bob@rocnet.com ----- Original Message ----- From: zhaoway <zhaoway@mud.jlonline.com> To: Zope <zope@zope.org> Sent: Monday, June 07, 1999 2:04 AM Subject: Re: [Zope] On the previous GIF Anim

Also, what browser are you using? Animated gifs have been around for years. Netscape or IE should be able to deal with them perfectly. Or as someone suggested, use RealPlayer to do a slide show, or use an image program like Photoshop to explode the gif into it's sequence (although it won't look as pretty as you might expect since it's layered).
Grail! :) IE right now, frankly. :)
I go online for about less than 5 min. a time to download all of thoes articles et al. for surf offline. When I browse offline, GIF anim.'s do not do their animations at all, ok, not always the case, sometime they can work very well like some GIF ads. The law is: if it is ad, it works well, if it's something I really care, it doesn't work at all. :( The point here is that the Inet is too expensive and too slow here, I can only go online less than 5 min. a time and sometime cannot download the GIF anim. fully offline, hence the problem. Sadly.
