My buttons are animated using Javascript. Javascript is quite efficient because it is part of the text of the web page.

JavaScript The Definitive Guide O'Reilly's terrific book is an indispensible resource for JavaScript.

Code to set up the big blue push button

   <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
      // animated push-button
      if (document.images) {
         bgDown = new Image();
         bgDown.src = "bgButtonDown.gif";
         bgUp = new Image();
         bgUp.src = "bgButtonUp.gif";
      }

      // button pressed
      function bgShowDown(imgName) {
         if (document.images) {
            document[imgName].src = bgDown.src;
         }
      }

      // button released
      function bgShowUp(imgName) {
         if (document.images) {
            document[imgName].src = bgUp.src;
         }
      }
   // -->
