I am planning to replace the static main image on my page with a 16 frame animated gif. The problem is that the animated version of this image is about 500k which i fear will make the load time lag. I do not wish to use flash for this, or to have any kind of load bar. Instead, I would like to load the static frame completely before having the animated gif resume play in the same location. What's the best approach to setting up a delay like this that is triggered by the completion of the initial image loading? I'd also appreciate other tips on image display delay. Thanks
