Webpage Troubleshooting- Guru Needed - Page displays differently in different browsers

RGPHNX
Hi all,
PROBLEM:
The animated gifs on my webpage aren't animated when you view the page with IE ver6.0 but ther ARE animated when you view the page with Netscape Navigator ver 7.2.
Does this have something to do with the browser settings in IE6 OR is it another issue??
Any suggestions????
All comments appreciated

Tools --> Internet Options --> Advanced --> Multimedia --> Play Animations in Web Pages.

Also, animated gifs are annoying.

Not all animated gif's are anoying, it depends on what it is... But it could be that you don't have the animation set to loop, and the browser loads slow, and the image is finishing it's cycle before the page comes up all the way.

I think beeseven may have answered RGPHNX's question. RGPHNX, remember to post back whether you solved your problem or not. smile.gif

it's a setting issue but there's no way to control that from your webpage. Make sure that the first frame of your gif is the best that was it kinda solves any issues with people who don't like it looping.

If that doesn't solve your problem, there are other possibilities. Perhaps the image is flawed. Which program did you use to create this GIF?

Hi all,
Thanks for the input. Unfortunately the problem is still unsolved.
The IE6 browser settings are already set as beseven suggested above re:
QUOTE
"Tools --> Internet Options --> Advanced --> Multimedia --> Play Animations in Web Pages."
.
The gifs are purchased from several different commercial image services.. so I don't know how they were created.
Note: the gifs display as static (ie. non-animated/not moving) when viewing with IE 6. <<< THIS IS THE PROBLEM
The gifs display correctly as animated with a continuous loop (ie. they just keep on playing) when viewed with Netscape Navigator 7.2 .

Any further suggestions ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????

The best explanation that I can think of is that the problem lies in the images themselves. I would encourage you to contact the commercial image services for support. Also, if you would provide links to your images from the fora, we might be able to more accurately diagnose the problem.

Hi all,
The display problem just kinda solved itself..Iev6 started displaying the images correctly on approximately april 20/05... don't know why.. "gremlins" in the machine???.. don't really know.. is a real mystery.
I didn't change anything.. no ftp uploads.. no file changes .. nothing.
The only thing I can think of ( a real longshot at best) is that it takes some time for the server to propagate & display the pages properly... BUT this should not be so.. in theory.. anyway. Anyway it's still a major mystery. If anyone has a definitive answer( ie you personally have encountered the same or a similar problem elsewhere on another server OR with your webpages).. then.. feel free to PM me. It would be great to know the real answer for sure.
Thanks again,
RGPHNX

  3. About My Host
    No help needed (3)
    Yesterday my host request was approved. Today i was making the website and i tried to host a forum.
    The website theme is programming, helps, guides, computing, tutorials on different programming
    languages. And i realised that a forum is more handy for helps and tutorials, and the users can help
    each others in a easier way. My doubt is: Is it really necessary a portal for my case? And can i
    sell programs at my website if i want to? Feel free to give your opinion. ~ Greetz Joćo Lopes....
  4. What Can Cause Some Browsers Not To Load My Website?
    (6)
    Hey everybody, recently I have noticed that the site is going down (doesn't load) ALOT! I
    don't know what's wrong, I thought it's from the server or something but I don't
    think so. And sometimes it doesn't load on Firefox and/or Internet Explorer but it loads on
    Opera. When it doesn't load it gives me 502 error (server not available). So what's wrong
    and what should I do? Make your topic very specific. You wouldn't want to present your topic
    regarding Trap17 hosting when in fact it's about browser related issue. ....
  5. Basic Info Needed - New Domain

    I just registered a new domain but since it is my very first time and have not worked with domains
    before I'm wondering what I have to do to get the new domain to point at my website here at
    trap17.com. If somebody could give me a real basic roundup of how the process with DNS and
    nameservers works and what I need to do so that if i type www.myfancynewdomainname.com in the
    adressbar of my browser i get my webpage here at trap17.com that would be awesome.....
  6. Changing Domain Name On Trap17
    Instruction Needed (4)
    concerning my recent application for a default credit account, I somehow managed to enter a xxxx.com
    for the "requested address" instead of xxx.trap17.com. I think I was just fiddling around with the
    text fields and forgot to go back and change that feild before I hit the submit button. By then, it
    was too late and my credits reverted to "days" and I can't create a new hosting address.
    I'm afraid to do the "terminate account" because then I'd have to start over from scratch.
    Ideas? yes it was my fault, just hoping to remedy this before it's too late.....

    I'm going on vacation today, and I counted up the number of days that I will be gone, which is
    19 (I'm fairly sure) and I checked that with the number of credits I now have in store. I
    realized that I would have about seven left after my trip and I realized that I wasn't exactly
    sure how many credits were required to keep an account set as "active" because I have heard many
    different numbers from both other users and moderators ranging from 5 to 10 and I was just wondering
    what the official number was. Thanks.....

    I've had a hard time trying to find info on this through search engines...just try google or
    ixquick and you'll see what I mean. I'd like to know how some addresses do not require the
    www prefix, such as xrs.net . I once heard that as long as you have been to the website before,
    with typing the w's, it will automatically add them for you, but xrs.net doesn't require
    them at all. Any help would be good, thanks.......
