Re: animated GIF rollover problem

I've never tried using an animated gif for a rollover, so I can't 
speak from experience. But...

Do you have two gifs: a non-animated gif for the noAction state, and 
the animated gif for the onMouseOver state?

Is the animation cycle quick enough for the animation to occur with a 
typical mouseover?

It might be helpful to test your javascript using another, 
non-animated gif. A tiny syntax error can prevent a script from 
working, and it would make sense to be sure that the script works 
before adding the animation.

If the animation is OK--and the one you posted seems OK, then the 
problem probably is with the jasvascript. There's an HWG list for 
javascript, and you may want to post a question with a URL, so people 
ther could look at the script.


BTW, I don't know what you mean by GIC.
