Website help needed

[Melvin the Dork]

Hey, I am helping a friend with a website and I have hit the same snag she has. Meaning I am not much help at all.
What I need to know is this; I have an image that is to be used as a horizontal bar for separating page sections. What I want is just the design, and no background.
Forgive the poor illustration, -----O-----
That is how it looks for the most part. Whatever I do makes the background white, not clear. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Mel

You need to save the image a gif and ensure that you have transparncy turned on.

Hope this helps.

What Trek said

PSP and Photoshop both allow for setting and saving GIF format images with a transparency value. Just make sure the color value you use is not in the image itself.

You wouldn't have ths trouble if only the big browsers would support PNG properly. Ah well...
