Hi guys and girls,

Been working with this program a while now, kind of doing the whole self learning thing. Got one problem thats been bugging the hell out of me.

When I create an animated gif in Fireworks, it works fine in the preview, and If I save it, when I view the animated gif outside of dreamweaver it works fine.

But......... When I insert it on to my actual web page on dreamweaver, it dosent work as an animated gif, but only inserts as a standard image...

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Uhh, in the preview pane, or in an actual saved site?

In the actual saved site. Like when I view it with IE.

eatusfoetus,
i tried out this with my copy of dreamweavermx - i inserted a .gif as an image into a plain html document and it worked fine in the saved site view on both IE and FireFox. I noticed that when editing the page in dreamweaver the gif is just a still image (most likely the first frame in the animation)... not sure - rather odd. do u know much about html? you could try and open ur html document in notepad and put in the appropriate tag and see if that works. i believe " src="URLofImage" " is the apropriate code

If we are on the Dreamweaver subject...anyone knows how to DISABLE the "get dippended files" option....it's really anoying, thx

Hey guys I figured out what was causing my problem. A setting on Adavanced internet options relating to displaying animations when viewing web pages.

Argh I knew it would be sutch a small thing, yet it had Me stumped for days!

Hehe merry xmas to all TSG users.
