RE: FN-FORUM Animated rollovers

date posted 5th June 2000 13:56

It is possible to use an animated gif on the rollover - yes. I have a site
going live today or tomorrow which uses this effect at www.nayo.org.uk I
have just designed the site and moved the ISP but the previous ISP (IUK LTD)
have taken over two weeks so far to change the tag. Is this a normal time
delay or are they just messing us about? Anyway they have promised (!) it
will be done by today - but not so far - so take a look and you'll see the
effect in action.
