This is boring, but a friend with a Safari browser running on a Apple PowerBook sees the animations on this page as 8 frozen gifs and 1 moving gif in the corner. It should be 9 animated frames--all identical, all moving. If you're seeing anything different please leave a comment, anonymous or otherwise, and let me know what browser you're using. I'm planning to do more of this work and am curious to find out what anomalies are cropping up. Thanks.

In Safari 1.1.1 - the one that comes with Panther - they are all moving, but they start as the gif loads, so that they're not in sync. Interesting...

In Mozilla 1.5 on OS X Panther, it looks as I expect.

9 gifs not moving in sync I would call an interesting anomaly. 8 frozen gifs and 1 moving is a "just shoot me" anomaly. Thanks, Barry.

That was a bug in an older version of Safari (only one out of n animated gifs on a page would animate.) This has been fixed by the latest (free) version of the browser.

I am using Safari on a Powerbook, and I see 8 moving gifs, but they are not in sync. It seems like groups of 3 or 4 are in sync, but not all 8.
