When more than one animated GIF features on a page, Safari sometimes does not play the animation.
Test page. Workaround is not included.

I've been able to reproduce the same problem in Safari (Panther and Jaguar - so 1.1 and 1.2). I can't supply a link to the project as it's still in the works for a client, but using a background gif animation in a div and placing elements within another div on top of it produces the same results.
The animation runs fine in all other major browsers on both platforms.

Just as a follow up... the same problem appears in the Tiger build of Safari as well.
And that page I mentioned before... it's here:

The stars in the background of the side nav don't blink or don't do so consistently or reliably.

I think I've uncoverd another animated GIF issue with Safari. I am trying to position an animated GIF in a DIV under another DIV containing a non-animated GIF. When the page initially loads, the z-index of the animated GIF is set correctly. But, once the animation starts, it rises to the top.
