I just meant create a transparent gif so that you can layer images over

Bruce, please don't add back in text from old messages. Cut out as much
text from previous messages as you can. Only leave in the text that you
are directly referring to that is necessary for the understanding of
your message. You may also want to read the wiki page on dealing with
Gmail: http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=GmailAndCssDiscuss. Thanks.
Zoe
