This is what I'm trying to do:<br />
apply an alpha filter to a gif and then use it as a background image that will have plain text over the top of it.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?<!--content-->you can create a cell and use if as your background image, then you can put plain text stuff it in<br />
<br />
usually cell is used with row, both of them are contained in table... <br />
<br />
here is an example<br />
<br />
<table border="0" background="your picture.gif"><br />
<tr><br />
<td width="100%">Put plain text over it</td><br />
</tr><br />
</table><br />
<br />
hope this helps!<!--content-->Thanks for the help Michael, but that part's not my problem.<br />
<br />
What I need the help with is applying a filter to that gif file that's used as the background.<!--content-->
