Delayed Loading of Animated Gifs


This one is from Tilley. This page displays a 2.6k static gif first. The 29k animated gif loads only after rest of the page has loaded.

Page Sizers will report about 3.5k.

Note that this technique does not work on IE3, WebTV, Opera, or any browser without JavaScript. It works fine with IE4, and Netscape 3 & 4 though.
