Thanks for the reply Ben. This is a link to what I've done so far. I am trying to get the page template set so I can work on the succeeding pages. The link to the site so far is (and I'm trying to follow rules and regs protocol here so as not to be considered spam) http:// www. vita hoo fand paw .com The banner is a .jpeg and the two links buttons are actually .gif files. Both file types are putting a white line border around the perimeter. Also, I am not using any CSS yet so I have no CSS code in my page. It is a dog/cat simple page. Please look at the code and you'll see what I mean. I appreciate any help or suggestions. This project is driving me nuts and I really do want to get it up and running for my customer. Thanks a MILLION! Peggy

I have been designing web pages for a while now uisng a specific host's builder. I am a graphic designer and have been working with vector and bitmap graphics for quite some time. I am coming up on a problem for which I can't seem to find an answer and I'm hoping that someone can give me a resolution. I am exporting a .jpeg graphic. I am using a background which includes a web safe color (#6699CC) that is the same color as my web page's background. When I upload the graphic, it continually puts a white "box" or lines around the entire perimeter of the graphic and I cannot for the life of me get rid of it. Will this always happen with .jpeg graphic imports? As many pages as I've ever designed and all the graphics that I've ever used online, this is the first time that I can remember this occurring. I feel certain that I have placed graphics on my pages in the past using this "fake transparent" technique of same color backgrounds but I don't remember coming up on this problem before. I am using Corel Paint for graphics editing and export. I tried using a .gif export too but it just won't give me the graphic clarity I need and the graphic that I have "hanging" off the edge of the banner has a white line around it as well in this format. I have searched the internet for an entire day and can't seem to find my answer. I'm sure I'm just looking in the wrong place. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks, Peggy
