Animated GIF in IE stopping

by

The accepted solution did not work for me.

After some more research I came across this workaround, and it actually does work.

Here is the gist of it:

function showProgress() {
    var pb = document.getElementById("progressBar");
    pb.innerHTML = '<img src="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/780560/./progress-bar.gif" width="200" height ="40"/>';
    pb.style.display = '';
}

and in your html:

<input type="submit" value="Submit" onclick="showProgress()" />
<div id="progressBar" style="display: none;">
    <img src="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/780560/./progress-bar.gif" width="200" height ="40"/>
</div>

So when the form is submitted, the <img/> tag is inserted, and for some reason it is not affected by the ie animation issues.

Tested in Firefox, ie6, ie7 and ie8.
