Hi

i have to popup (argh) a small page when an animated gif is clicked on. the
animation stops as soon as the popup opens. is there a way to restart the
gif or prevent it from stopping in the first place?

the popup uses the javascript below

function popUpLaunch(url) {
newWindow=window.open(url, 'windowNew',
'width=836,height=593,status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,screenX=200,screenY=20
0,left=200,top=200');
}

Mark

That must be IE - they never fixed this ugly bug since 4.0. A
workaround would be to not use javascript: protocol, use instead
<a href="something.html" onclick="openPopup(args); return false;">
