Thank you for the tips on png transparency and creating a bg image wiht drop

I would agree on that. Just looking at all the code made me dizzy. I did
find a solution that seems more straightforward.

When I placed the image in the "preview option section" it tiled the image
instead of placing it once, so I really couldn't get a clear idea of how to
best manipulate the lines. Even though I implement javascript in my site,
I've relied on code specific tousing with GoLive, so I'm not sure where to
place the second part of the code. I understand the instructions for Step
One but am not sure about Step Two. Can the code in Step Two be placed in
the external js library in GoLive, and can I hope that all the connections
will be made correctly when GoLive strips all unused js code before
uploading the page? Or... would that script go in the head? This is where I
get confused. I know that I sound like such a novice... I am, but I'm trying
to learn.

Method 3: Javascript
The most lightweight, applies two lines of javascript to generate the wrap
markup. Requires loading of single small external javascript.
Two Steps
1. Copy and Paste this code into your site, right above the start of your
text content.
2. Save and then upload this javascript onto your site.
Download: shapewrapper.js

Someday I need to throw away the GoLive crutch and start using jquery and
all the other tools available for web design. My saving grace is that I
don't call myself a web designer, more like a hobbiest.
