RE: QOTM Question of the moment

Well, a minor correction to the Jasc "expert" - GIF89A is the rule for
transparency defined by the CompuServe Graphics Interchange.  GIF87 does not
support transparency.  Interlaced allows an image to begin displaying before
all bits are received - thus what you tend to get is a scrolling effect
(ever see an image sort-of scroll onto the screen till it's fully
displayed - that's interlaced.  Non-interlaced allows the image data to
fully download before the browser displays the image - You wait a minute
then "pop" the image is there.  Transparency is better handled in
Non-Interlaced mode - thus it's always recommended that you use
Non-Interlace.  However it is supported in both Interlaced and
Non-Interlaced operations.

Well, last year I couldn't get mine to work correctly, I was under the
assumption I had to match the background color on the color palette with
my background by hand, so frustrated, trying to figure out why the
eyedropper exercise did not yield a checkerboard back on view
transparency, I called Jasc. He told me that the reason I couldn't get
it right, was because I was using interlaced, and that would not work.
89a though, is also necessary.
