Re: Embedded GIFs not embedded

There's no such thing as 'embedding' a gif within a webpage.
You have to set the image href to a URL. - This may be a 'real' gif file, or a program which prints out the binary data.
example

<html>
<body>
<img href="/cgi-bin/photo.cgi?id=1"><br>
<img href="/cgi-bin/photo.cgi?id=2">
</body>
</html>

When I last noticed those, and experimented with them, I found they worked on some browsers, and not others, and especially not my favorite browser at the time (although I've switched favorites around that time, so I can't tell you which it was). So, I'd be wary of suggesting such a solution, which also doesn't have a graceful fallback if it isn't supported. -- Randal L.
