I'm developing a website that needs a subtle animation of a moving shutter.
I'd like some ideas of how to do this so that it's compatible with firefox and ie6+. The whole site is typical css with minimal html for individual text and image content. This animation will be on the frontpage.
I'm rather old school but don't mind learning something new so long as I don't have to pay for software :) . Figured I'd ask some younger or more experienced minds how they would tackle this problem because if left to me I'd be doing an animated gif.
 
Ok. What about APNG? I've read around and it looks like only IE6 is the dog, the rest are fine with it. Oh yeah, this image is high quality. I don't think it'll look good with the GIF 256 color depth. MNG or APNG? Or SVG (flash etc.) oh so many options.
I think I'm going to try APNG for the simple reason that it looks to be the best bet all around. The only down side is that the animation in IE6 will be limited to the static 1st frame of the file. No big deal, it'll look great regardless of the animation. Thanks for the feedback even though I answered my own question ;)
 
APNG is not supported by any IE version, Firefox before 3.x, or pretty much anything else. The only browsers that look like they support APNG are Firefox 3 and Opera 9.5+.

GIF would still be the best bet all around.
