There
are
a
couple
of
clever
things
that
can
be
achieved
with
images:
Animated
Images
Images
which
are
in
GIF
format
can
be
animated.
The
specific
GIF
format
which
allows
for
animation
is
GIF89a.
Creating
animated
GIFs
is
really
very
simple.
You
need
to
create
a
small
GIF
for
each
frame
of
your
animation.
This
may
result
in
several
GIF
files.
Then,
use
a
utility
such
as
GIF
Construction
Set
(Win95/NT,
1.2MB),
to
create
a
single
animated
GIF
image
from
your
separate
GIF
files.
This
is
an
example
of
an
animated
GIF:
Tips
and
Tricks
Some
tips
for
creating
web-friendly
images:
- Make
your
images
as
small
(in
terms
of
file
size)
as
possible.
Large
images
which
take
a
long
time
to
download
and
display
are
very
irritating
to
users
with
slow
Internet
connections.
- When
inserting
an
image
into
your
HTML
page,
use
the
width
and
height
attributes,
i.e.:
<img
src="myimage.gif"
width="150"
height="50">
This
causes
the
browser
to
display
the
text
on
the
page
before
the
image
has
completed
downloading,
allowing
visitors
to
read
the
text,
and
giving
the
impression
that
the
page
loads
quickly.
- Use
a
utility
such
as
GIF
Construction
Set
(Win95/NT,
1.2MB)
to
set
the
background
of
your
image
to
transparent.
This
does
not
look
good
if
the
background
of
your
web
page
is
very
busy,
and
therefore
interferes
with
the
look
of
the
image.
However,
if
you
have
a
plain
page
background,
making
its
background
transparent
causes
it
to
appear
as
if
it
is
floating
on
the
page.
