Rollover Image problem in Dreamweaver MX

[UrbanVandal]

All right, I am new to building websites. I have encontered a problem. I have created a simple roll over image (link)... it switches to the 2nd image before my pointer even hits the original object. I know this is because of the black background....so, how do I define the pear's body as the only area that will initiate the rollover action? check out

Right first off dont use spaces in your page names page 1.htm gets messy and can cause issues.
Right the image isnt "cut around" so thats your problem, unless you used an image map around it and told it to rollover only when the image map was highlighted (not sure how to do that myself), your effect is going to be hard.
An easy way around it is to not use the black BG, and use the "wall" bg of your page, in an image program put that as the background, line it up with some patientce, and youll be laughing.
