Linked jpg background color?

Is it possible to specify the background color of a linked jpg?

I am linking directly to a jpg on my site and I think would like to keep it that way for sake of simplicity. The link looks something like this:

http://my-domain.com/jpg-name.jpg

I am getting the default color of the browser, but am hoping I can manipulate that color somehow.

Thanks,

Brian

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking. You want the page's background color to be determined by the colors used in the JPG? Which colors? You might try something like this:

No, way simpler and I think it might not be possible. I want the browser default color next to the image to be a certain color I hard code. I want anything that shows next to the image to just be white, not grey, or whatever else the browser might want to do.

You can't change browsers. Instead of linking directly to a full size image, you could link to an HTML page with a white background.

Thank you Nancy. I was hoping to avoid that in this case, but I guess I will have to.

Thanks a lot!!!
