GIF Frame TimingI've got 12 GIF images in one webpage. Each gif has 12 image frames and I'm
locating them absolute in divs such that they overlap in layers. In other words, 12 gifs assembled to look like one big image. But the timing is out of sync between each gif. Is there a way, using html or css to set each to start at the same time? It takes several seconds for all the gifs to load into the page, which might contribute to different start times. Any help is appreciated! Richard in Va. ++++++++++++ (animated gifs)
The #1 frame in each gif depicts one big image, the #2 frame in each also depicts the same image... and so on.... Gotta be a way to begin the sequence of all gifs at the same millisecond? Using html or CSS. Again, thanks for any help!

1- Delay the ani-gifs until after page load. You would set up elements on the page as placeholders, and then after the page loads you would use js to replace the elements. You may be able to use http://javascript.internet.com/page-details/delayed-gif.html as a starting point 2- Fake the animations- Use single frames from each gif and then use js to loop through the various frames for each gif. http://lists.evolt.org/pipermail/javascript/2001-May/000553.html I do not know what kind of effects running an indefinate loop in js would do client side Show quoteHide quote "Richard In Va." <Reply-n***@aol.com> wrote in message news:%23E$1olaoJHA.1172@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > I've got 12 GIF images in one webpage.

Should have known... java script is the only way to manipulate the gifs. Sorry for the tardy response, had to leave own for a few days but thanks for the reply. I'll try your suggested methods.
