Timing Out of an animated GIF

[Trevor L.]

BlankI have an animated GIF on my welcome page http://tandcl.homemail.com.au/ - it spells WELCOME (repeatedly)

The statement executed is:
<p><img src ="images/welc_anim.gif" alt=" ">

I there a way to time this action, i.e. after a few seconds, say 3-4 at most, to replace the statement by
<p><img src ="images/welcome.gif" alt=" ">

Maybe I would have to use JavaScript or VBScript and perhaps load another page in place of the first. Any way of doing it would be fine

Both GIF files are on my website

You'll neeed a aninimate gif editor... like, Paint Shop
Pro Animation Shop. Just insert a 3 second first frame.

Thanks Bill,

I managed to obtain the Microsoft GIF animator (it took a lot of tracking
done - although it is free, the MS site is not the best place to find it)

This works in that I can set a repeat count, but it finishes on a blank
frame, so on completion, I would like to replace the blank frame with the
one I managed to copy (using screen dump).

Is there some script that will say:
Display this Image ("images/welc_anim.gif")
When x seconds had elapsed replace it by another image
("images/welcome.gif")

Instead of switching images, why not just merge the two animated GIFs into a single file?
