I would like to know if there is a way to have a page redirect its self to another page after an animated gif is played. I have seen stuff like this done using flash, but my flash skills arnt very good so I don’t know how to use it. Any help please? Thanks
@NedalsApr 12.2003 — #You cannot use an animated gif to redirect or do anything else for that matter. Although not perfect, you could do something like this.
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
// preload the images
var img = new image();
img.src = "animated.gif";
// timer set to 5 secs here (1000 per sec)
function init() { timer = setTimeout("redirect()",5000) }
function redirect { location.href = "newpage.html" }
onload = init;
//-->
</script>
The animated gif is preloaded. You can then set the time equal to (or greater than) the time it takes for your animated gif to perform. Then transfer to the new page.
