Jim,
I think that in this case it would be best to convert glideranim.pdf
to an animated format that is supported by web browsers (I think SVG
should allow this, or GIF). I am not really a fan of conditional tests
for TeX4ht in the document text, but if you have only a few
animations, it could be the best option.
Another option would be to redefine the \animategraphics command to
use \includegraphics in the config file. Something like this:
\Preamble{xhtml}
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.svg,.gif,.png,.jpg}
\renewcommand\animategraphics[5][]{\includegraphics{#3}}
\begin{document}
\EndPreamble
This will search for glideanim.svg and glideanim.gif and include them
as normal pictures.
Best regards,
Michal
