How to use animated splash screen for iPhone web app?

I'm creating a web app for the iPhone, and I've made a splash screen for it. I'd like to have an animated loading symbol (like this one enter image description here) on the bottom of the splash screen. I made an animated gif with it, but the web app only shows the first image in the gif. How can I have an animated splash screen?

Thanks!

The real splash can be only a static PNG image, however what you can do is defer all loading of heavy resources for later and in the beginning load only a view that has the same image as the splash but with a spinning wheel in the bottom of the view.

Then you can start loading the rest of the application while this view is animating and informing the user of the progress.
