Hello,Is it possible to put <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> within a div with the image set in the css?If so how would this be coded?

what are effect are you trying to achieve? transparency? You can use opacity or images for that; you don't need param. That's for FLASH, if I'm correct, or other elements of the nature <object>, however it is especially not recommended for images.http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_object.asp

I put the site live for a couple of days to let a few people see it and give me comments. I went on to the site via my work computer using internet explorer 7 (i think) and all of my images although they are a non interlaced .png was showing with a grey background. So I thought that by using the wmode and value properties within the div would solve this.Or do I need to do something completely different?

IE6 can't render alpha transparency on PNGs correctly - you have to use the MS-CSS filter property. There are some JS solutions that will do it for you, however: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=IE6+transparency.
