Animated gif works in FireFox but not IE

Hi all,

I have a search screen that when submitted displays a previously hidden
absolutely positioned DIV with an included animated gif picture. In FireFox
while the search is happenning on the server (before the server sends a
response) the animation of the gif works just fine.

But in IE7 it is static.

Does anyone know of a way to fix this?

Thanks...

when a postback is in progress, ie will not start the extra thread required
to run an animated gif.

there are two options, switch to an ajax call for the search, or return
response right away, start a server thread to do the search, and use a meta
tag to poll for results.

I have a object that contains a check box. When the value changes it raises an event for that object. I then have another object with a animated gif in it. I linked the event of the first object to change the visible property of the animated gif in the second object. If I click on the checkbox to change it, all works fine. But if I try to change it programatically, (through a timer thread) the image shows up but it does not move. How...

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. Thanks,

I'm trying to show an animated image temporarily while the web server is processing a long request. I attempted to use a combination of CSS styles and JavaScript to temporarily hide or show only appropriate portions of the page (e.g. hide the data and show an animated "processing" image while the server is doing work), however, it's not exactly working out the way I had hoped. What's the best way to accomplish this task? Thank you in...

Hi, I have a button on an aspx page (I'm using vs2005 with asp2), which when clicked takes a while to do some data processing before it posts back to the screen to display the results. I therefore created a little animated gif, which, when the button is clicked, I display using javascript in a floating div, the idea being that the animation shows that something is happening until the postback occurs.

Hi, I have the following code that shows up a div with an animated gif inside, executes a cpu intensive function using setTimeout and then hide the div again: getEl('divWaiting').style.display = 'block'; window.setTimeout(function(){me.FM.addFlagPopBox(me); getEl('divWaiting').style.display = 'none';}, 1000); issue is that the animated gif will stop as soon as the function in

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 everything on the page and is kind of unpredictable. If I connect it to the onload event, sometimes only half the page will be displayed. Does the onload even fire before rendering? Does anyone know a reasonable way to accomplish my original goal of

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
