Is there a way to display a gif in HTML 5? I've tried this code, and it doesn't work (images work though)
<img src="loading.gif">
I've spent hours trying to find out how to do this, thanks!

That should work, assuming the image is available. There's nothing special about GIF images. We're not going to be able to help without more information. Console errors? – isherwood Sep 24 '20 at 19:32

sounds like an incomplete path. – Mech Sep 24 '20 at 19:33

That must work. It seems you have picked the wrong url. – Derek Wang Sep 24 '20 at 19:33

The reference to your image is incomplete since your code itself is fine.
Your code reads as: the image is located at http://example.com/loading.gif.
You need to either put the complete url path (https://media.giphy.com/media/jUwpNzg9IcyrK/giphy.gif or use ellipses (../media/giphy.gif) to go back a directory.

Ok thank you, for some reason the URL I had tried was faulty-even though I copied the link using the "copy link button" on giphy. Wasn't sure if there was an error in my code – TardiCoder Sep 24 '20 at 19:40
