Try using loop in your tag?

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <img src="MyGIF.GIF"  loop=infinite>

re: Gif image - don't Loop

hi,

thanks for the reply.

i've tried the loop attribute, but what should i use as the value of the attribute?
i've tried with infinite and -1, 0 or 1. but still it repeats the animation.

thanks

Oh, I apologize I misread your first question, so you do not want the loop? Well you would use Loop=False. Take a look of these HTML LOOP Snippets. Let me know if that works...

<embed> is non-standard as is the loop attribute for the img tag. I wouldn't advise its use. I don't know if GIF can support this. You could look at other formats or possibly Flash or JavaScript.
