I’m having an awful time trying to get something working for a client.
Basically, I’ve created an animated looping gif which he wanted for his WordPress website, as a preloader thing. Now, I had absolutely no success with the preloader – I tried inserting the gif in, but the preloader literally featured for three seconds and then disappeared. The gif was too small to even be seen.
So I thought maybe I could create a sort of splash page, where a user could see the animated gif, and there could be a Welcome To ….. and a button to click into the website. BUT… I can’t get the animated gif to play more than once… which is definitely not what the client wants. I’m exhausted – I’ve been through the various forums and tried the solutions on offer (checked that the gif hadn’t been resized in WordPress, made sure I had exported the gif from Photoshop with the looping option on).
It’s nearly Christmas, and you guys would make my wish come true if you could help me solve this! 🙂

Thank you!
loop is not a standard attribute, as far as I know. Instead of the loop attribute, you can modify the gif file to repeat infinitely. You can do that in Photoshop as well, if it is more handy to you.
