Picture over watermark

[samsgolf webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I have a big watermark on a page. The page is constructed with tables. I want to put a photo over the watermark. The photo is shaped as an elipse. When I insert my photo the edges of the elipse show as a white rectangle even though the photo is on a transparent backgound. Is there a way to make my photo come up on a transparent bkgd in DW.
Thank you
Sam

Sam - Is the photo a JPEG? Because JPEGs don't support transparency. If you
want parts of an image to be transparent, you need to turn it into a GIF.
Problem is, photos don't do well as GIFs.

I don't know of any good way to put an odd-shaped JPEG photo on the page
over a watermark (which I assume is a background graphic). I'd either remove
the background graphic, or make the photo rectangular..

Is the photo a JPG? There is no transparency in JPGs.

Depends on the file format. A .gif with transparent reas will show fine,
but I think the file size will be huge if it's a regular photo, so I
doubt that that's what you have.
Instead, it might be a .png. In that case, it's (still) very poorly
supported by browsers and IMHO, you sholdn't use it.
I don't want to sound negative, but you might want to reconsider the
idea about transparency and make the photo a regular jpg.

Sam:

You really only need one of these -

<td valign="top" height="169" align="center">
<script language="JavaScript1.2">fwLoadMenus();</script>
<script language="JavaScript1.2">fwLoadMenus();</script>

And since the DW/FW menus are layer based, by calling the building of them
in a table cell, you have in effect placed a layer into a table. That's
well bad mojo.

Move one of these calls (delete the other one) from where it is to here -

<body ...>
<script language="Javascirpt1.2">fwLoadMenus();</script>

and see what happens.
