Before uploading
the gif animation to the internet you can run it 'offline' meaning that
it runs locally on your machine.
Within Netscape
Navigator or Internet Explorer (or in fact any web browser) open the
gif animation file. It will automatically begin to run according to
the programming that you have used in the gif application.
The beauty of gif
animation is that it will run in practically any browser and it does
not require any specific plug-ins (such as Flash or Shockwave). This
makes it very robust and easy to apply within a web site.
Having
tested it 'offline' now create some simple HTML to run around it.
