Previewing GIFs and JPEGs

The easiest way to see how your saved GIF or JPEG file will appear on the web is simply to drag the file from the folder in which you saved the file and drop it over your web browser window. This works for both Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer. The same applies to animated GIFs.

Note that Netscape versions prior to Navigator 4 do not get the timing right for animated GIFs - they always run about half the speed they should. Navigator version 4 and Internet Explorer display animation with the correct inter-frame timing.
