uhhh... LOL I didn't see anything animated...

<EDIT> Nevermind.. got it in IE.. it doesn't show up in FireFox... Did you make it in PS of Fireworks and then import into DW?

[benslayton]

Yes it was made in fireworks and saved as a gif but, not imported into dreamweaver.

If anyone knows I really need help Star tomorrow airs monnday on NBC and I need to get the gif working.

I am not sure about animated gifs, when you do that with regular pics you need to export as a png to have it appear as transparent.

Just a quickfix though... why not just make the background black? It will blend with your page background.

I will try to find the answer for you in the mean time.

Hey ben... looking at it from home... it is transparent.

It still doesn't show up in firefox though... I don't think the problem is with the gif...

Yea I just fixed it like 5 min. ago. The problem was that I was saving it with no transparency. Duh!:) I am trying to get it to work in FF right now.

EDIT: I just fixed it.
