As for for one correct answer in this thread, you can't start and stop an ordinary gif animation by a web page event, you can only do that with Flash.

It could be done, although it wouldn't be the course of action I'd take... I'd stilll use Flash. But if you're low on $$ and want something to get you by... You could creat 2 gifs. 1 Static, and 1 animated. Use JavaScript to rollover the non-animated with the animated to give you your effect.

no but using pseudo classes you can have static images in the link and then animated in the hover or active classes to create an impression of the animated gif being activated.
