Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
You're not going to get transparent and JPG--you'll need GIF for that, and it's a dicey proposition since the sides need to be either horizontal or vertical with no anti-aliasing for you to achieve true transparency.
Or PNG--that'll get you true transparency. Do most browsers support it now?
But I have no idea where to find them. Just wanted to tweak your search.

IE was the last holdout on transparent PNG's -- but of course, that's a pretty big holdout, as far as market share goes. As of IE7, it's now supported, but I don't have numbers handy for how many IE users have made the switch.
Hmm. I wonder if I have any browser stats lying around for our user base...not that we're that representative.
Nah, nothing past 2006 which is more IE6.
ita, that's 404-ish....
Finally fixed it. Got distracted fiddling with google.
Why oh why did IE reject PNG for so goldarn long? I've been using it for, seriously, years. I have a book that was written 10 years ago saying that it was the future.
Although, apparently SMF (the web forum I use over on my other community) converts all avatars to PNG when it resizes them, and i haven't gotten any complaints that avatars are available. So are we sure about that IE thing? Maybe IE pre 7 just sucked at the transparency bit?
Assistance please.
My editor at Oxford American sent my article back with edits to review.
It seems to be in a binary file, but not one my Mac recognizes. I thought it might be a .rar, but no.
Would it be possible to forward it to somebody to be opened and sent back as a Word doc, por favor?
sure. Send it to me! Me! Me!
eta: Assuming I can do anything with it. What's the extension (if there is one)?
There's no extension listed. That's when I threw on the .rar, but my UnRar didn't like it.
Thanks, Tommy!
yeah, I get files with no extensions from Mac users (usually). If Tommy can't figure it out, send it my way. Although I wonder if it is a word perfect file...
