Sorry first of all if this is redundant...couldn't locate it anywhere in the
forums.

After creating images with a transparent background and uploading them, they
ALWAYS show on the page as a white background. No matter what I do, I cannot
get it to show up transparent. Have checked all Window Options as well.
Should I be including a setting in the code to something like <img
src="myphoto.jpg" background="0 or none">.

Can you tell it's got me confused?

An example can be found by: http://www.oc2net.com/NPC/

Thanks in advance for any help!

Quick Addition to post: When clicking on link, please look at the corners of the footer image.

Patch,

You exported that image as a jpg which does not support transparency.
You need to export as a gif with transparency. You will find these
settings in the Optimize panel.

Patch,

Since your design relies on flat areas of color, all your images can be
exported as gif's.

The background image can be done away with all together since it is a
solid color and declare that in html or css.

Here is a great tutorial on optimizing images for the web -

In addition to alex's comments, you also have a css rule making your
table backgrounds white.

table {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}


If you get rid of that rule you won't need to use the blue in the footer
background.

..footer {
background-image: url(../images/footerbkgd.jpg);
background-color: url(../images/backfade.jpg) repeat-x;


The blue in your css body rule will come through.

BODY {
background: url(../images/backfade.jpg) repeat-x;
