The JPEG format does not support transparency. Have you tried PNG format?

Thanks Linda - that works nicely.
Although between that image, and the background one, that's around 300k - is that getting a bit excessive? -

How did you generate the PNG? From the filesize, it appears that you're using the native Fireworks PNG source file on the site, but it's not meant for production use. Instead, select PNG8 or PNG32 from the list of available file formats in Export Preview (Ctrl+Shift+X), and see whether that reduces the size of your exported transparent image.

Just doing the export > preview thing. The file is about 170k at PNG 32 - PNG 24 didn't seem to offer the transparency, and PNG 8 doesn't give a particurly good picture :

Why do you need a transparent background?

6. Re: JPGs with a transparent background in a web page?
I wanted the pics to have a transparent background, so that they blend in with the background image.
A compromise is probably the JPG using a blue canvass for the background of the images with the pics :

I don't think that's a compromise. I think it's your only choice! 8)
