Here's an example of what I'd like to do, only using an animated gif instead of a plain one... Dynamic Drive - Autumn Leaves Any input would be wonderful! Thanks! -Katie

Interesting effect! _____________________________ Regards, Rick On-The-Web-Now! (in reply to sophistikatied)

Well, that's it! The last time I share my innovative, 'ahead-our-time' design concepts. I've always said that one day something new will hit the Internet and I'll be in on it and make a fortune.

Appreciation for my tastes at last - thanks It's just a case of creating/obtaining your animations putting them in a folder naming them pasting the jscript into your page Changing the image source links on the script to your animated files Upload it all !

Don't think so Dave - she'd definitely sue! - but... it might be worth it... that graphic would integrate very nicely into the design flow.
