AJAX, and why IE sucks!

[KDF]

Need some help, working on a PHP/Ajax web application.

The user clicks a link.
Ajax takes over and sends back a waiting/loading animated Gif..

Problem is the animated gif is only animated in Firefox/Mozilla (basically everything bar IE) and its pissing me off..

The only thing I can think of is im artificially introducing a delay into the PHP handling script using sleep() but cant see why this would affect it. I can take sleep out of the equation or i'll never see the animated gif as the server is super dooper fast

Any ideas ?

Everything else is fully working with regards to the AJAX scripts, ive even got around IE's inability to modify the TBODY/THEAD for table row updates and every other IE crappyness..

I was using a security enhanced version of IE (tight as a nuns arse) so stopped it working correctly..

Example of what ? I wrote the AJAX stuff myself ..
