Is anybody using dynamic GIF's to display menu items.  Let's say you want to
display text items based on database values and still make use of "POST"
forms without using buttons.  Then as you serve the page have a link that
goes to a servlet asking for the string, e.g. /servlets/getGIF?Menu=1 and
/servlets/getGIF?Menu=2, etc.

Would it be efficient to generate them on the fly or would it be better to
cache these GIF's and generate them whenever a new one is needed?
