Animated GIF question

Post by **haas mark** » 2003-12-16 12:16am

Ok so I'm designing this site, right? Well at the top of the site there is an image (the "PowerCurve" image) that is set to infinite loop. However, sometimes the image stops looping. What causes this, and how can I stop it?

People can override loop commands by hitting "stop" on their browser.

I'll hold my tongue on the actual content for now

Uhm.. the image itself is set to infinite loop (meaning nothing in the coding). And it stops looping when we let it load all the way.

Maybe you did it wrong.

Make the gif again and see if it does the same thing.

Thing is, it spontaneously does it.. no idea when it'll do it.

That's what I'm talking about dude. I loaded the page, came up fine. I hit stop, it stopped. Escape does the same thing IIRC.

Works fine for me.

One more thing on this subject.. sometimes the image will go *incredibly* slow despite the frame settings to go.. a helluva lot faster. How do I fix that?

Normally a GIF will be slow during the first loop.

This one is either slow continuously, or not slow at all..
