I'm sure you guru's can help me out here.

When I use images (.PNG) with a transparent canvas in Visual Site Designer (VSD), the transparent canvas is replaced with black, while the same image behave like expected in Coffee Cup HTML Editor (CHE)

How can I make the canvas of an image transparent again in VSD?

Hi Dick,

Are we talking about VSD version 6.0 (that just came out a couple of days ago)? If not, the previous versions of VSD didn't support .png graphics.

Inside of VSD it will show as BLACK, but once you preview or upload, the PNG will be transparent.

Thank you all for your help, I really appreciate it.

Yes I have the latest of VSD which support .png files and...YES, you're right. If I upload or preview the page, it will be transparent.

I did not bother to test it as first (which could avoid the question :rolleyes:)

I'm sure I have a couple of questions more later (for I have two left hands :D)

PS
I bought CoffeeCup Web Form Builder which is awesome!
