    A png can be animated too.

    http://tech.irt.org/articles/js206/#6 explains it better than I could.

    Animated pngs are mngs though, I believe. Don't know if any of the popular browsers support it, since it was removed from Mozilla for some reason

    xD, Mozzilla, sorry, popular, hahaha, I must stop laughing.

    Png and Gif are esentially the same, they both support invisible sectors and animations, however Gif is set at 256 colours or less and Png is variable, and Jpg is just a way to compress an image and make it look really bitty the more compression you use.

    Edit: hahahahahahahaha

    Actually, you'd find a great number of the forum goers here are using Mozilla. Not the main site though, I'm sure, because that's where the unwashed masses go.

    PNG is the way to go. If IE supported transparent PNGs, there'd be little reason not to use them for everything.
