…oh I suppose you might like to see it first, right?

sorry haha

anybody?

oh now you’re bumping impatiently, like I was supposed to hang around and wait for the URL.

Well, here’s the deal.

https://donclothing.com/blog/wp-content/themes/blackbox/img/don-blog1.png is the image in question.

for some reason, your animated .gif has a .png extension. Confusing? IE thinks so.

i changed the gif to a png after i read somewhere that pngs work better than gifs in IE. this did not work…

sorry for the bump

i tried putting the jpeg back in place and it didnt load in IE either. So it must be something with the code?

if noone can figure it out, is there a way to have the header image rotate when refeshed.

any suggestions?

Mate, whatever you did when you switched to a PNG didn’t actually change the file type, just the extension. I haven’t looked again, but when I looked the first time you were displaying an animated gif, with a png extension. I opened it in a graphics editor to be sure.

hey, i uploaded a png gif and jpeg. so by changing the extension, i changed the file as well.

To start with, correct your code here . . . https://validator.w3.org/

If you don’t start with clean code how can you ever find the problem?

any suggestions? I really need to figure this out….

Obviously your problem is that you simply changed the extension on the .gif to a .png…

This does NOT change it to a PNG. To do so you need to open the .gif in a graphics editor and re save it as a PNG.

This should be obvious to almost anyone… especially AFTER Ivovic’s comments about doing so.
