Blind gif

[Webnauts]

I want to add for semantic reasons a blind gif within a hyperlink at my under construction website breadcrumbs:

How can I make it invisible, since I tried a transparent gif with no border, a tiny black dot appears.

Can someone help? Thanks for your help.

You could always make a 1px by 1px gif the color of the background that you want it to be placed.

A black dot shows up when you make a transparent gif? What program did you make it in? If it is Photoshop or Illustrator, when you save for web, make sure that matte is set to "none"

the most likely reason is because the image you are making is being given a border by the html... when you have an image in a link, it automatically gives it a border, sort of like text is given an underline... if you set the border attribute to 0 in the image tag, ex.) [img]blind.gif[/img] then the "black dot" should go away.

if you already did that, then the issue must be that you really didn't make the gif transparent. try deleting the background layer, it may be a transparent gif with a white background layer or something silly like that.
