Re: [OT] Animated .GIF's

[Mark Lowe]

I wouldn't use hide show by way of  css for this. Use an old fashioned 
image swap with the transparent gif. Unless you need the image 
positioning over the top of anything (if its a form you'll need to hide 
that to c/o z-indexing and forms).

In short don't hide-show but swap.

can't seem to find any info on my problem.  I'm hoping someone might 
be able
to shed some light on this for me.....

I've got a simple animated .gif (Loading Data... kind of thing) that I 
need
to display whenever my submit button is clicked.  Until the submit 
button is
clicked though, I hide the image

        <img border=0 id="loadingData" src="loadingData.gif"
style="display:none;">
When the user clicks the submit button, I use javascript to change the 
style
to "display:inline".  The image appears, but the animation doesn't 
seem to
work.  If I load the image without the "display:none" or even with
"display:inline", the animation works fine.  It only seems to fail 
when the
initial display setting is 'none'.  What gives?  Am I just missing an
additional setting?

Thanks.
