GIF Animation stops of form submit in IE (firefox works fine)

As subject, when the form is submitted (file upload) i display an progress bar image (hidden image becomes visible), but the image is not animated.

After some googling it seems that IE stops animating the Gifs when a request is sent.

So what is the workaround?

thanks.

here is the code (unecessary html code removed):
<div id="uploadprogressbar" style="display:none"><img src="images/progressbar.gif"></tr>

You could try a workaround with the proprietary IE onbeforeunload [msdn.microsoft.com] attribute - this may let the GIF remain animated in IE. I haven't tested this, however. :)

An example on the

body

element would be:

<body [b]onbeforeunload="document.getElementById('uploadprogressbar').style.display='';"[/b]>
