Display GIF in html 5 - html

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!

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.

Having trouble adding local image using HTML

I have an image on my computer that I'm trying to add to my HTML by using
img src="myheadshot.jpeg" (arrows included in VS Code), but nothing shows up. I've been able to add images from Google using the image address, but I can't seem to find a solution to the local image issue.
I'm just beginning my coding journey, so any help is much appreciated!
Make sure your code and image are saved in the same file or location on your computer. (e.g. The code and image are both saved on the desktop or in a file on the desktop.)
Also, maybe try this:
src="myheadshot.jpg"
Not really a difference, but it works for me!
First of all, I wish you success in this journey that you have just started.
For now, you can paste the image into your IDE and use the extension with the name there.enter code here
Example:
Let the name in the file be bg.jpg.
<img src="bg.jpg" >

HTML Code with Image links are not displaying images

Im looking for a way to be able to display images in a html file.
I use excel vba to take the HTML code and save it into a .HTML file and it displays the text and formatting fine. But does not display any images. The HTML code does have links to images like this:
<h1><img src="**********/Image.png" alt="" /></h1>
I've tried saving as a .MHTML but this comes up blank, and i have tried saving in other formats such as word documents but they just fail.
Is there anything i am missing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
That HTML seems to be valid.
For example,
<h1><img src="https://en.wikipedia.org/static/images/project-logos/enwiki.png" alt="" /></h1>
works for me.
It's somewhat unclear what you are doing with Excel here, but is it maybe just that the paths to the images are invalid, maybe because they are relative?
Have you tried opening it in Chrome's F12 and looking for the problem there?

Html - Images won't show up (relative link)

I worked on a Website locally and it works well. When i put it online, images won't show up.
My html file is in "folder" & images are situated in "folder/images".
When I made my website, I used this link to put images on my html code:
<img src="images/firstimage.png">
I understand the issue here is the path I used. I would like to know if there is a way to manage this without rewriting all links 1 per 1 on my html code ?
Sorry if for this noobish question this is my firsts hours of coding. Any documentation related would be appreciated.
Greetings
Use Ctrl+R (not in every html-editor, I often use that in IntelliJ) to replace the marked text with the newly entered text. So you can write "images/" (it will marked ALL text where it occurs) to overwrite ALL marked text with following: "folder/images/"

HTML not finding image

I am just getting started using HTML and I seem to have fallen at the first hurdle.
I am trying to create a basic webpage containing an image that is downloaded when clicked.
So far I have:
<a href="/images/selfie_img.jpg" download>
<img src="/images/selfie_img.jpg" alt="Selfie" style="width: 300px">
</a>
I expected this to display the image I want as it seems to my eye to be formatted exactly like all the examples I have seen. However, this only displays the alternative title, not the actual image.
I have checked the image path, and used different images to try and solve the problem. I am using VS code and the software can follow the image path to find the appropriate image, but when I load the program, the image is replaced by that annoying blue question mark. Using a URL as the image path seems to work but then the image isn't downloaded when clicked, I just get the URL.
Welcome to StackOverflow, SpicedWater!
The problem you're describing is most likely caused by a wrong path. Your browser resolves the images path and can't find it. I suggest you take a look at the source code in your browser or the developer console's network tab to see what path it's trying to find this image at and which http status code the browser determined.

new picture not registering

first time poster and html noob here.
For a few hours now ive been trying to use a background picture. I downloaded an image I wanted to use, and set about trying to code it.
No matter what I tried, the image would not display. However, when I tried one of the other images I was using, it displayed just fine.
I tried using just the first letter of the existing image, and the program immediately suggested the image in a dropdown, as well as several other images with names starting with the same letter. However when I tried to use the new images first letter, it did list options, but none of them were the image I had downloaded.
I tried renaming the image, but still no luck.
I havnt included any code just yet, since this seems to not be related to the code itself (Since other images display just fine). Has anyone run into something like this before? Extensive google searches did not yeild anything for me.
In case it matters, I am specifying the background image as part of the Body css.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Please check to ensure your preferred image is located in the same parent folder as your htlm.
As #Patrick Falvey says but if the picture is not in the same folder remeber to / before your file path :)
