You mean transparency. Well, there simply isn't a way with Paint. There is a way with Paint.NET I think. I'm sure there's a way in Fireworks and Photoshop, but those are probably too elite programs for a Paint user. SnagIt has a good editor that allows binary transparency (making a single color completely transparent) which is usefull in your case, but at one point, it might not be enough.

Do you mean a border? All you have to do is put -- border="0" -- in the -- <img> -- tag. If that doesn't work, which it probably won't, since no browser that I know of gives pictures a border on default, then try checking your picture. The problem may be that the actual picture has a white line around it.And lastly, you should get something better than MS paint for your computer. I use paint for basically everything because of its simplicity, but it lacks many good features that other free graphics editing software offers. Go here to look for the one that suits you: http://www.freebyte.com/graphicprograms/ .

the best free one that you'll get is probably GIMP. Actually the paint on one of my computers had transparency capabilities, but normally, there isn't transparency in paint.

I think he's talking about the canvas size. When you create an image in Paint, it creates the canvas for you, and when you save it, it saves the entire canvas, not just where you drew. You can either drag from the corners to resize the canvas, or you can go up to Image -> Attributes and enter in a size yourself. If it cuts off what you just drew, then select your image and move it to the upper-left corner before you resize the canvas.Also, never use a .bmp file on the web. They are uncompressed, and are a waste of space, bandwidth, and time. Always use either a JPG or PNG, which are both compressed. Your users will thank you for not having to wait to download a huge image that only shows up at 100x100 pixels.
