I sure wish somebody at Netscape or MSFT would talk to an artist once in a while. It would be so very simple to have a globally transparent color for a page or object area like a table within a page, independent of file type, with switches to turn this off or on for a particular text portion or image or any other object, and with a range of +/- which would taper off the transparency. After all, GIF transparency has to be implemented by the browser. It doesn't just happen because the GIF file happens to have an entry that says 'transparent color is X' . At the same level in rendering or about so you could have transparency as indicated by either file headers OR HTML tags for any other displayable type. It would be so incredibly useful for designers, and eliminate so much unnecessary internet bandwidth use - especially for those ads that suck up so much of the bandwidth we all pay for. Anyway, sorry I didn't have a practical suggestion for you. FWIW, I did play with your files a bit a few months ago, because I was wondering what made them so slow, and succeeded at making many of them 2x smaller at that point, just with a 1/2 hour of experimentation.
