• Shoddy Animated GIF looping in Internet Explorer
    8 replies, posted
Alright, so I made an image onmouseover turn into an animated GIF. Simple enough, however Internet Explorer seems to have a problem with starting the GIF from frame 1 upon initial mouseover. Chrome, FF, and Opera all work fine and start the GIF from frame 1 and play it through properly. Are there some settings in my GIF that are incompatible with IE? Or does IE just not cooperate properly with this kind of setup?
It's IE, of course its not going to work correctly.
[QUOTE=mgear;16409451]It's IE, of course its not going to work correctly.[/QUOTE] I knew that, but there must be a way to work-around it. There were PNG transparency fixes before IE got PNG tranceparency support, there's gotta be something that can at least make this work slightly better.

[QUOTE=slinkman;16409772]Yes. Get FireFox[/QUOTE] Hes trying to make it work for the ignorant that still use IE. If you don't want to help, then GTFO. And to the op, got an example page or something?
I guess you could reload the image with javascript on mouse over..

Are you testing it with IE8?
Seen this bug before. Add an extra frame at the start of the animation if you can. Make it the same as the second, with a short delay.
