In HTML, sure, you can anchor a link to nearly any sort of image - 'animated jpegs' are known as mpegs though (for obvious reasons)

However... your question lacks context, and is just a little vague

As this seems to be an HTML question, the Web Development forum (which you seem to be familiar with) would be more appropriate. Placing links within images is pretty basic though


"and each picture have it's own seperated url?"

I hope you don't mean each frame of the animation(?)

Ok, say I have 6 images and I want it to be animated. Each image will have a seperate url. Can I do this via animated gif or must it be flash?

If you are talking about a single animated gif with 6 frames and each frame having it's own hyperlink, then the answer is no.

Hard to see how that could work, or what would be the point, but widely off topic here, since its an HTML coding question, rather than digital photography

If you're talking about a ve.r.r.y s.low animation, with each frame persisting for several seconds or more, 'possibly' there's a solution in Flash or Java, I couldn't say

As always, the right forum and a clear & detailed explanation of the goal goes a long way towards arriving at an answer

I guess I could have used the web forum. I was just thinking digital and photos. It's sort of like a rotating banner however it doesn't rotate when you hit refresh or visit the site again. It rotates pictures (small) and each picture will have a link. I guess it must only be done in flash since this forum never heard of it. I know lots of sites use it and I know it is flash but I don't know flash and thought there was a chance of using an animated jpeg or gif. Thanks and I'll move on to another forum.

Well.... unless I misunderstand you - and I'm not ruling that out (far from it) - you want to code a web page or HTML document, and it sounds like you hope to achieve mouseover effects and tie linking to images. Probably 'Flash' would do it, but that's only a guess.

The connection to digital photography is all but imaginary, and absent entirely if the only issue is acquiring the correct code and file format for your web doc.
