  1. When linking a GIF and the link directs you to a "page not found" page it seems to be a problem with the link instead of the image.
  2. To me the linked JSFiddle seems a bit useless since I cannot see the relation to your described problem.
  3. You can embed a GIF using a simple <img> tag. What are you going to do with the <iframe>?

We might be able to help you better if you are more specific about what the problem is. Maybe share your code? I can confirm I dont see an image right now ^^*

Are you trying to make an animated gif a link? or just a static gif-image?

Thanks, Jouke. I have updated my post with a jsfiddle. For some reason my code was not showing up in my original post.

I was trying to get an animated gif to link of to another page, it is working in all browsers apart from IE, where it just clicks off into a page not found window.
