It appears that my animated eyeline.gif would not load or work properly on
my IE6 browser because of a Windows Update (KB90515) that I installed on
12/14/05. I removed Internet Explorer Q905915 in Control Panel - Add/Remove
Programs, and my IE6 browser sees the animated gif perfectly. I suspect that
I need to save eyeline.gif in a more recent version of Photoshop.

Thanks again for the feedback.
