Ok, is there a solution to this:

If you have rollover buttons that use the same 2 images, and the rollover state image is an animated gif, then while IE and Mozilla display correctly, NS has the following problem:

Say your animated gif has 10 frames. You mouseover the first button and when the animation goes until frame 7 you mouseout that button and mouseover to the next one. The animation now will not start from the begining but from frame 7 (or 8).

This gets worst if the animated gif is to play only once. NS will play the gif the first time you mouseover, but not again. (except if you reload the page)

Is there any way to "reset" the animated gif on mouseout for NS?

Can you show me an example of this?
And, which version of NN are you having difficulties in, as Moz builds are the later NN...

For some examples -- a good use of gif animations in a website is this:

Interesting, and I doubt that there is any Web standard to say which way is "right" - i.e. starting from where you left off or starting over with the animation when coming back to it.
