    A question for you FireFox users:

    Do the animated Emoticons (clapping, laughing, etc.) no longer animate under FireFox?

    E.g., are these eyes rolling? :roll:

    Didn't know if it was my settings, or an incompatibility with FireFox. (I assumed they're just animated GIFs.)

    Danke!

    Jeff, will you STOP rolling your eyes at us, it is a bit rude! ;-) Yes it works on FireFox for me. Don't know if I have any special things set to make it work though.

    Thanks, Bruce -- obviously, I've done something funky.

    OK, apologies -- they're not rolling under IE, either.

    I suspect I've gone too far with ZoneAlarm or something...

    I bet in an effort to block "advertising", ZA it stops any images that change.

    [In best Jim Backus "Mr. Magoo" voice:]

    Danny! You've done it again!

    Went to Privacy/Ad Blocking in new ZoneAlert Security Suite, selected PriusChat from the Site List, switched off animated blocking for PriusChat, and voila!

    The little eyes work like a charm!

    I switched to DSL two weeks ago; really liked the free ZoneAlarm product, and decided to go the whole distance and buy the Security Suite. THere are some nice additions, but sometimes I think I would have been better off just buying ZoneAlarm Pro and leaving it at that.

    Just glad to have a good NAT hardware firewall between me and the 'net.

    So... could someone please tell me "to what degree" the brand new animation I just put on my homepage works.

    It should transition from image to image with any up-to-date browser. Layers and dynamic images aren't too complicated. But I am uncertain if the fade effect will be visible.

    If it works entirely with FireFox, that's another endorsement point for it.

    Sure - which image is supposed to be animated?

    Sounds like something done with Javascript - which I avoid using. Usually, sites have it just to add loads of irritating fluff in the way of getting at the information I'm after.

    The animation is a FADE from blank to each image.

    I am a bit baffled by the difference between my home & work browser. The centering only seemed to look right at home, so it's smoother. Hmm.

    As for not including javascript anymore, I consider that a non-issue now. If you are using a browser so old that it doesn't support javascript, you've got a ton of security issues to worry about. I also don't believe in absolutes, so minimal use should be acceptable.

    I don't know John. With FireFox, I get no fading images. Under IE, they are there but they stomp on the text. I gather they are supposed to be in what I see as white space above.
