Would it be possible to make your word an animated gif file?

Subject: A really basic web animation question


Hi all---

I'm working on a project for my company's intranet and am having difficulty=
 finding an answer to a problem I'm having.  I've been presented with the =
challenge of animating *one* word on a page, and I haven't had any success =
searching the web for a solution as to how to do it.  Bear in mind that I =
know HTML but know next to nothing about Java or JavaScript (and no one =
else on my committee does either, go figure).  Everything that I have =
found (under sites like JAVAGOODIES.COM) gives syntax for very sophisticate=
d text animation... words flying across the screen, flashing text, =
scrolls, etc.... much flashier than what I need. =20

Here's all that I'm trying to do:  I have a page titled "The LIGHTER =
Side". When people visit the page, we want the word 'LIGHTER' to float up =
from the baseline (as if it were filled with helium).  Seems simple =
enough.  Is there anyone out there who could help, either by telling me =
how to code this or by pointing me in the direction of a good online =
resource?  Our intranet is very basic, and I don't really foresee us using =
any more "flash" than this... so I know my company won't subsidize a Java =
course for me to learn one basic task!

I'm on digest, so I'd appreciate it if you could copy your replies to me =
off-list... many thanks!
