Re: MNG?

Hi Ardian!

Consider isolating the area of the graphic that you want to animate, slice
"around" the area, leave all of the "non-animated" slices as .jpeg, and
convert your animated area into .gif....

Apparently you do have an image slicing program, and it should build the
table that will contain all of your pieces. (yikes! unless you are doing
positioning with CSS, then I guess you'll have to go the layer route, if it
will work).

Good Luck, and Happy HTMLing
Mike
