Playing a .gif file with html-CodePudding

i started yesterday with html and I have issue. Everytime I try to open it in the website it shows just a black thing. This is the code:

<img src="Users\mkotz\OneDrive\Desktop\Eternity.gif"height="450"width="150" 
                loop="true"
                autoplay="true">

CodePudding user response：

Add before Users ,the following: .\Users....

CodePudding user response：

The link is probably invalid, Check that and try again.

CodePudding user response：

Everything seems to be alright with the code but the path you are referring to might be invalid. You should be considering using a path referring to the website and further its files.

In web development you should folder all your files something like this:

Add your image files always to the resources folder. Then you can refer to it from the index.html by saying src="./resources/<image_name>.gif" and so on.
