Question
I want to include a colored background and also a background with a .gif. Here are my tags
<body bgcolor="yellow" Text="blue">
<body background="tracks_grey.gif">
My web page picks up the .gif but not the color. If I delete the .gif tag then I get the colored background. Can't I have both?

Answer
Hello Kathy,

Sounds like this may solve the problem. First off, did you create your gif with a transparent background? If not, you will need to do that.

The gif is laying on top of your background color and that is way you are unable to see it. The background is being obscured by the color of your gif. If you have tried this and it doesn't work, please let me know.

Thanks and good luck! Diane
