 Recent versions of netscape are said to support animated png. Old versions
 do not. View your animated pngs with gimp or if you create web-graphics
 consider using gif though it is patented. Many people don't use the latest
 versions of netscape.

Uh, the latest version of Netscape, 4.7 does not handle transparency in
pngs at all, so I would assume that it would not handle animation
either.

To be honest, I didn't think you could create an animated png...

Netscape does not properly handle transparency in png images.  We spent
hours trying to figure this one out.  Finally looked at one of the
images with IE and the transparency worked.

I stand corrected, png will not do animations but transparency pngs can
be view
not with netscape but with mozilla (the future netscape 5)  it's fairly
stable
and small 5MB or so.   www.mozilla.org
