I'm learning Ajax from Sams Teach Yourself Ajax,Javascript and Php All in One and testing an example which diplays the server time OK but does not show a busy gif image. In fact all I get is the red cross box where the file should be Windows Picture and Fax Viewer displays the moving gif file OK so what am I doing wrong? I have no prior knowledge of using gif files
A:
Right click on the red cross box and select Properties. The subsequent window will show you where IE is looking for the file. In all possibility, the location may not be correct. Must be a problem with the way you are using relative paths.

A:
Properties shows "Type not available" (but file name is "anim.gif") File location is OK
Does the file have a proper extension? I dont think it should say type not available.If you can share some code it might be useful.

Alan, you are not supposed to add a response to an answer as another answer. Just add a comment... like this.

Can you share the location? If it just says anim.gif then it might be a relative path problem.
