SYMPTOMS

CAUSE

Internet Explorer does not support using Server Push for animations.

RESOLUTION

In order for the animation to be displayed, the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) document should be changed to use an embedded animation file that uses an .avi or .mpeg format, or to use an animated .gif image.

If you are not the owner of the Web page, notify the author.

MORE INFORMATION

Server Push animation refers to running a process on a server to send a continual stream of images to a browser client.
