Animate HTML Tag

[F Rodney Clay]

Greetings,
I've been working on some animations for displaying instead of
the default animation icon of WE/2. The problem is that Netscape nor
Mosaic seem to recognize the tag. I originally had the images in bitmap
format (which was my original assumption as to why Netscape and Mosaic
would not work); so I changed the images to GIFs--still nothing. My
question is whether or not this tag is WE/2-only or are Netscape and
Mosaic setup to not recognize the tags?

TIA,
Rodney

The animate tag is not part of the HTML spec so it will not work on most
browsers. I did get it to work on my homepage.

The tags are recognized only by WE. Now, at last, we can put "optimized for
WebExplorer" on top of our homepage! ;-))

Take a look at
http://www.undergrad.math.uwaterloo.ca/~bcrwhims/os2.html
for an example of this :) A little cliche, but it is my logo from my
POV-Panel/2 program, animated.

It is for the WebExplorere only.

Good Day!

Netscape has its own Animation tag (<ANIM>). Unfortunately, I don't
know how to use it. Check out 'about:jwz'
(http://home.netscape.com/people/jwz/) to see an example of its use.

WebExplorer's animation tag is much cooler!
