CSS means cascading style sheets and that is a standard for web design and development.

You are likely getting a border because of having anti-aliased selections -- you should be able to turn that off so you don't get that problem.

Sorry I don't understand what css means.

Here is how I am doing my images, this is also how I was doing a logo but gave up. I design my logo and crop images in Print Shop which I know isn't the best but it is all I have. I then click on the image or text and save as a jpg. The problem is when I then upload the image to my server I end up a lot of the time with a border or in the case of text I end up with a white background.

Seriously, look into using CSS...I am just getting into really using it, and the control you get is just fantastic.

If you start learning this now when you are just beginning you won't need to unlearn old habits later on.

Gezzz, here I thought I was getting so web savy but to hear you guys talk I feel like a babe in the woods. I will get to it and try what you suggested. Thanks

link is http://www.kbdesigns.biz/ (was mentioned in critique section)

your image has a border around it, a background image tiles from left/top so you are seeing the top border on the second run, remove all the borders on the image and all is fixed.

You have the td cell set to 23% so it will only display the right border when you use a screen size big enough where 23% is 219 pixel wide

You could also save that background image as a .gif or .png which will decrease the file size

I'm assuming you are using an image as a background in a table cell (td) and you're seeing seam lines?

The image will 'tile' if you're not using css. The trick here is to either create a 'seamless tile' (one where you won't see those seam lines), in your image editor or size the image to be the same dimention of the cell that you will be using it in.

Not really -- please provide an url and review the links s0da left for you. They should help.

Sorry I don't know the termimalogy. It the not the webpage background itself. It is one of the columns on the webpage. I have the option of inserting a background color or graphic background and I chose to upload my own grapic to my server than insert it. Does that help?

are you using background="" ? or CSS?
