im using the same code for the xml photo gallery tutorial in my own photo gallery. JPGs work fine but some of my images are in GIF format, and they don’t appear. How can I make them work? any idea?

Here’s the code:

> 

function loadXML(loaded) {  
if (loaded) {  
xmlNode = this.firstChild;  
image = ;  
thumbnails = ;  
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;  
for (i=0; i\<total; i++) {  
image\* = xmlNode.childNodes\*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;  
thumbnails\* = xmlNode.childNodes\*.childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;  
thumbnails\_fn(i);  
}  
firstImage();  
} else {  
content = “file not loaded!”;  
}  
}  
xmlData = new XML();  
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;  
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;  
xmlData.load(“images.xml”);
