I have a problem in that I can't figure out how to paste text saved as a jpg onto a picture background.... I don't want the rectangular edges of the image box to show ie only the letters themselves. I have tried deleting the background on photoshop and then saving it immediately however when I come to paste this onto my background the deleted backgroung shows itself as a white background... I,m also trying to do pictures this way too so I cant just use the text straight onto the page option, but I just can't figure out how to do it...is there a way to do this with dreamweaver? any help gratefully received..:(
 
You need an image with a 1.)transparent background or 2. Background that has the same color as your page background

1. save as .gif with transparent bg
2. Use photo editor (photoshop for example) add a bg layer to match the color of your page. DeZiner

When the gears stop turning,

I would look into getting a copy of fireworks to do what DeZiner suggests! David R. Ellenberger
