gif with transparency in div

[Skinnybobb]

Hello,

An image using a transparent background is placed inside a div, however the transparency isnt transparent its white?! Can anyone explain why this might be happening. (Didn't know if it was the css causing the problem hence I posted it here).

<div class="bluebox"><h3 class="style7">Business Development</h3><img src="../../images/directors/jacky.gif" /></div>

This is my css

.bluebox {
background-color: #EDF3FE;
border: 1px solid #74A8F5;
padding: 5px;
margin: 0px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #666666;
margin-bottom: 3px;
}

Cheers

are you seeing the light blue bg div colour?

yep,
the only thing thats not right is the image (a persons head and shoulders) has a white background and is not transparent so you cannot see the blue through the image.

I'm gonna need to see the image, i think

Sometimes it depends on the program you use to make the image. For example, when you make transparent gifs with Microsoft's Paint, it will be white. But if you use Paint Shop Pro, or some other program, it'll be transparent.

forget it.
It was the css. I had some img attributes in the surrounding div.
