I'm looking for "good" examples of frames and animated gifs in web pages. I've been searching around and have yet to find anything worth while. Reason I ask is I'm presenting a chapter about them for a class.

oxymoron

I don't think there is such a thing as a "good" example of frames and animated gifs. This is what comes to mind when i think of those two items in a single thought.

You are teaching a class this shit? for fucks sake, why do people bother going to Uni/College for this bullshit.

I saw a good use of an animated gif not too long ago, they had it play just the once and it was a hover, so when you hover over the navigation it will fill in, like a lot of flash sites do, they imitated that with a .gif, I thought it was done well anyhow.

Actually, it could be a great class (and full of laughs). What's the old saying: "Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it..."

or what's that other quote...

"Those who can't do, teach."

[skyrocket]

Ha that's classic but should be re-phrased...

"Those who can't do, become Governors of California..."

Wow, that site really took me back.

The only animated gifs that survived in mainstream interwebs are animated emoticons and advertisement banners (the latter is thankfully often replaced by text-advertising or not so thankfully by fullscreen-flash-overlay-bullshit-with-sound)
