I did a simple animated .gif for a website that WAS working until I downloaded the latest version of Microsoft IE. Now the browser just shows a static image. (.gif works in Mozilla)

What's the deal?!

Website is http://samplesinthecity.com/

Thanks in advance!

I'm actually surprised that this works at all. -You have mutiple instances of opening <html> and multiple openings of <body> (three opeing <html> tags and FOUR opening <body> tags!), and you have CLOSED the last </html> and still are closing </TD>, </TR> and </TABLE>. None of these should be 'outside' of the closing, sole, solitaire & only, </html>. :o

Attached is a screenshot of just the lefthand-side of your code. I had to split this into three columns to get it all in. This is your code, top-to-bottom, 1,2,3.

This is a rather neat site, -nice animiated image, not crowded or cluttered, lots of white-space so it has business appeal. No horrid colors or background textures to detract from the content. It's not flashy and throwing animated whirligigs at my eyes screaming BUY ME NOW. I like it. The insertion page has potential. But the code is quite weak and seriously needs to be fixed. :)

Joel, you've opened a whole new can of worms! This is really strange. The coding that you viewed - which was by selecting the source from the 7.0 browser - is NOT the same as my actual document! Why does the browser do that?!

AND, incidentally, the .gif is now working in 7.0. I think I'm in the twilight zone?

Here's my actual coding: http://www.samplesinthecity.com/coding.htm
