embedding gifs

Rischen

Hi,

I'm a real newbie at this and I'm having difficulty with something.

How do you place an active animated gif on your website?

I just use Word saved as html for my pages and when I place a gif on the page obviously it just stays as a static, single frame. When I host the gif at imageshack and then type in the url on my Word page I just get the typed url on my webpage!

How do you do that? I felt like it would be cake, I'm sure it is cake but I just can't figure it

Appreciate your time,

go to notepad >
open up your html file >
find where it reffers to the static image >

change it to this:
<img src=/imagelocation/image.gif border=0>

Excellent.

Thank you.

So much becomes clear now. Soon I'll be editing directly from notepad.

And I don't really need to host gifs and stuff to imageshack now that I've got a web host do I? I just point the img src in notepad to where the gif is in my own computer and then just make sure I also upload that file to my web host when I send the page up. Or just keep everything in the same folder and send the whole thing up and make sure the main page is called index.htm . Am I on the right track?

Thanks a ton there, Arestia.

As the resident busybody, I'd like to ask what your domain and site is about...

I'm just cutting my teeth a little on an online art site. Something small and nice and neat I can dip my feet in with.

After that I guess I'll make a huge site about the best car in the world -- the Mercedes Maclaren F1.

Awesome ride but somehow I can't see the bumpersticker --- My other car is a Koenigsegg --- catching on.
