Is it possible to activate a animated item once the form/page is submitted
for processing, as I have a number of forms that take a while and the users
keep submitting the page thereby restarting the process.
Any help would be appreciated.

Your main goal should be to prevent users from submitting your forms more
than once. There is plenty of good sample code on different ways to do this.
Regarding showing an animated gif, once you set the src property of the
image control, the gif will be loaded and start playing. There are many other
ways to show a "working... " message while a long running process is
completing.

Hey Peter,
Actually I think it's surprisingly difficult to get images to work correctly
in these scenarios because IE has issues starting up animated gif's from
invisible or hidden content. If I remember right the only thing I got to
work consistently was to use a frame container with the message display
loaded into that. http://west-wind.com/weblog/posts/1227.aspx

in general the browser will not an animation tread (or download a new
image) while a postback is processing. caching the imag, starting the
animation, then delaying the postback (use setTimeout to do the submit)
sometimes works.

Hi there,
I'm trying to read an animated gif from a url (for a banner-rotator). The
code I have now, does read the gif (or jpg), but the result is that I only
get the first frame of the animated gif, AND at a much lower quality :-(
Important to note is that the image is read from a url (from a different
server), and thus NOT from the local disk.
Below is the code I use:

At the top of the page on my website http://www.itemlook.com I have an
animated gif called "eyeline.gif". It has worked fine in the past, but
recently I am unable to get it to work using IE6. All that I get is a box
with nothing in it. It almost seems as if the file will not open on my page,
let alone animate.
It still works fine with my Netscape browser. I am using Windows 98. Any
ideas would be appreciated.

Hi,
I'd like to write Javascript that stops animated gifs from animating.
On Firefox, at least, window.stop(); does the trick, although it stops

Does the onload even fire before rendering?
