This worked - sort of. The image I needed to make background transparent was a graphic for a web site. The file name was JDAAlogo.PNG, so I issued convert JDAAlogo.PNG -transparent white new_JDAAlogo.PNG then I scp'd new_JDAAlogo.PNG over to my server box and loaded image with a black background. It works great in Linux using Mozilla, but when my wife tries to view the page in Internet Explorer the image appears with a white background. What's going wrong here? Any ideas? -- [email protected] mailing list
