Question on a animated gif

[Tasmanian Devil]

Hi Ya'll~
I was wondering I have an animated gif that is in form that has been encrypted and in a form, but the gif does not animate like it should. If it is outside the form and not encrypted it works fine. Any ideas? I do not know much about these things, but I believe it is being used as somewhat of a submit button.

Thanks

Why is it being encrypted?

Because I am in the proccess of having people click on this gif to checkout into a secure site to pay for items.

Wait, so the gif resides on a secure server?

https://yourimage.gif? Why not just put the gif on the http server, I do not see why it has any business on a secure server?

It is on a http server but has been encrypted for security reasons as I am told so no one can fiddle with the button itself. Is there a different way I can do this?

Thanks

Well if you can't move the button I do not know of any way you can change it. Basically the encryption that goes on with https is two way so it gets encrypted by the server and decrypted by the client, so I do not know why the gif would fail because when the client sees the gif it is not encrypted.

What exactly do you mean by "encrypted"?

Hi Ya'll
Well I found out something, when I upload it to my server it does not work properly, but when I preview it from my computer or in the Adobe imigae ready it works fine. What could be wrong?

Well it COULD be your browser's settings.

[PeOfEo]

link the gif here and we will look at it.

I can preview it correctly if it goes through my ftp when I upload however it just does not work other wise. Here is a test page (http://s88434475.onlinehome.us/test.htm) that has the image should be working for me but it is not, unless it is a setting on my end.

Is there a setting somewhere on my computer that would not allow me to see the animation of the gif?

Thanks

I've seen settings in some browsers where you can tell it not to animate, animate once or animate per the file content. That said, your test page works in FF and IE6 (on XP) for me.

[PeOfEo]

works for me too.

In ie -> tools -> internet options -> advanced -> multimedia -> check play animations on webpages, I think that is what is needed.
