Animated GIFs load with firefox but not ie

hi,
i kinda got blackmailed into joining myspace.com and i have to admit it’s been fun coding the page but i’ve run into a snag. some animated gif’s i’ve added show up when using firefox but ie will not load them. the page is here: [url]http://www.myspace.com/xxxchaos[/url]
the weird thing is, they worked at first with ie and then just quit. then last night, my friend and i were looking at the page, and they all of a sudden loaded with ie without us changing any code or anything, but now they are gone and haven’t worked since. nothing has been changed and they have always worked with firefox no problem.
there’s 8 of them in all and all the code is basically the same. here’s the code for one of them: <a href=”http://www.myspacescripts.com“>

any ideas you might have would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

UPDATE: okay, i figured out a workaround. i uploaded all the gifs to an image hosting site and changed all the links and now they work. the only thing is, now they take a little while longer to load so if anyone still has a way to fix the above problem, i’d still appreciate it.
