HTML help!

This is an iFrame that links to an ad created through a third party service. They have decided to stop making the ads loop indefinitely which isn’t jiving with me. I can go in on the editor and copy frames until the cows come home to make it seem like it loops forever but that’s a pain and not very good if you want to go in and make changes. Does anyone know if there is any bit of code that can be inserted in here to either loop the frames? Any sort of help on this is really appreciated.

Here is the mess of code (I’m not sure how to paste the code without the HTML trying to do it’s thing so here is a screenshot too):

scrolling=’no’ marginwidth=’0’ marginheight=’0’ width=’300’ height=’250’ src=’ !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! target=’_blank’ style=’display:inline-block’> !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ’ border=’0’ /> </a> !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ’ border=’0’ style=’display:none’ />

are you trying to over-rule “animationTime=30”?

Not necessarily. The animation has two 3 second frames so in all the animation is only 6 seconds. I would just prefer to have it loop between the two frames instead of stopping on the second.

Rather than coding inline, how about pointing the iframe to an HTML file that has the ad code and loops automatically via meta refresh?

so it stops at 6 seconds not at 30?

what kind of animation file is it?

GIF? SWF?

I’m not entirely sure how to do that and need to be sure that the ad will still be able to be tracked for impressions and clicks in DFP which tends to not happen when I point to an outside HTML file. Possible, but it would take some trial and error most likely

The above code is just what the online builder spits out at me to input in DFP, I haven’t done any of the coding on it

HTML 5? in this instance I’m using an online ad builder and this is the code it spits out at me. I don’t think it creates an actual file and just points to something else hosted by this third party.
