   Hello all,

   Is there any way of getting WP to display a simple animated GIF file?

   My ordinary web site can do so with ease, and there's no way I can afford £400 or more to buy Flash WP !

   But I can't find a listed plugin which runs an animated gif?

   Cheers, Martin Woodhouse

   Hi

   Do you mean that if I create an animated GIF outside WP and save it, then simply insert it (as a GIF) into a page, WF will 'run it' without any additional coding, widgets or plugins etc??

   Put another way: if a page loads a GIF and 'discovers it' to be animated, that page will simply run it as an animation?

   Lovely if so, but what about timing between frame, looping, etc?

   Thanks so far, anyway --

   Ok

   When in doubt, Try It Out

   Created GIF (in Serif Drawplus) and saved, then loaded into test page via Insert : runs fine. Tres cool.

   Cheers, Martin
