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. BTW, please please do not use RealPlayer. I feel terrible about it. And I have no RealPlayer installed on my box, free though. I do believe simpler in better in most cases. For months, I used lynx to surf the net due to some money reasons and proxy and ... I'm not saying lynx rules. But if a webmaster could considering people in different surfing conditions, it will be great! I will appreciate it! --zhaoway .________________________________ /http://mud.jlonline.com/~zhaoway\ 闷罐船 \zhaoway@public1.ptt.js.cn / 水世界 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
