Found the problem. There were 2 folders on my web server - one called images/Icons the other images/icons. My FTP programme (used to upload the .png file with transparent background) could only see the images/Icons folder BUT the Java script was reading images/icons - which had the white backgound. Only my CPanel could see both folders. Thanks for the help. Mark
