I have several Image Ressources (every one is 2 Images across for mouseover effect)
when I replace a static GIF with an animated ine, it simply does not work i.e. is not animated whed displayed via WebBrowser)
Within Notes Client it seems to work…but I need it to be animated on the Web.
I tried to call the ressource via URL
http://myserver/mydb.nsf/animated.gif?OpenImageRessource → works fine but displays both images
http://myserver/mydb.nsf/animated.gif?OpenImageRessource&ImgIndex=0 → displays the first Image but static !!!
Any suggestions / Help appreciated

Not too many people use animated multi-state imagery – it does take a while to make one of these images.
You’re going to have to make a separate set of images for the web in this case – one image that’s animated for the normal state and a separate one that’s animated for the “mouseover” state and then hand-wire the button/image.
When the Domino server serves up a multi-state image, it has to split the image into individual images for the web. The code that splits up the image is only looking at the first frame of the animated gif (so the resulting split up images are not animated).
(The Notes client does handle this case – if you have the patience to do it, you can make a multi-state, multi-size image well that has both open and closed states where all the states, sizes and open/closed-ness are animated. We did build a test case of this and the Notes client even can support putting a multi-state animated icon on top of a multi-state animated button background image – though this is unbelievably garish.)

can we hope to get this fixed in further releases?
In fact it seems that IRIS did solve the underlying Problem of dividing the animated gifs as it works in the Notes Client.
Just let the domino developers get together with the Client developers 
I remember a similar Problem with AmiPro where two different teams were developing for different plattforms - with the result that the windows Version could not read Files created with the same Version of AmiPro running on OS/2…(well but this is a long time ago)
