As Michael suggests, make sure you're color is set for what you think it's
set for.  But in addition, make sure you don't have a mix of pixels in your
supposedly all white background.  That is, move your mouse around the
background area and make sure it's not reading FEFEFE...FFFFFF.  More often
than not the background may be comprised of two or more variants of a color
and making one variant transparent does not make the other variant
transparent - so, while you're making the FEFEFE transparent, the white
FFFFFF still shows up on your web page.

Are  you absolutely sure that the color that looks white is actually white?
and not something like FEFEFE? - which would show up as white.

Use your color dropper on the image itself and also on the background color
indicator to make sure they have the same values and don't just look the
same. That's all I can think of . . .
