Does anyone know a work around to make animated GIF's continue to be animated after you click a link or submit a form on the page your on in IE? This works fine in other browsers.
Thanks.

Jquery:
Related to this I had to find a fix where animated gifs were used as a background image to ensure styling was kept to the stylesheet. A similar fix worked for me there too... my script went something like this (I'm using jQuery to make it easier to get the computed background style - how to do that without jQuery is a topic for another post):
[EDIT] With a bit more testing I've just realised that this doesn't work with background images in IE8. I've been trying everything I can think of to get IE8 to render a gif animation wile loading a page, but it doesn't look possible at this time.
I came upon this post, and while it has already been answered, felt I should post some information that helped me with this problem specific to IE 10, and might help others arriving at this post with a similar problem.
I was baffled how animated gifs were just not displaying in IE 10 and then found this gem.
Tools→Internet Options→Advanced→MultiMedia→Play animations in webpages
hope this helps.
Very, very late to answer this one, but I've just discovered that using a background-image that is encoded as a base64 URI in the CSS, rather than held as a separate image, continues to animate in IE8.
old question, but posting this for fellow googlers:
Spin.js DOES WORK for this use case: http://fgnass.github.com/spin.js/
Building on @danfolkes' answer, this worked for me in IE 8 and ASP.NET MVC3.
