GIF and Tiling question.

[Theros]

Hey all!

1) I have my site design mock up created in photoshop. Ive sliced the images to what I want but when I go to save for web and save it as a GIF file, with these settings...

GIF, Selective, Diffusion, Transparency, No Transparency Diffusion, No interlaced, Lossy: 0, Colours: 256, Dither: 88%, No Matte, Web Snap: 0%

Thing is when I save these images, theres no transparency even though I thought I had set it... It appears to have transparency in Photoshop but when I view it on my coded page theres no transparency.... :(

2) I have a picture of a wood thing that I want to tile across the background of the site. Im not sure how to achieve this. Ill upload the pic too to show you what size it currently is...

*EDIT* Uploaded two pics showing what I mean

hhmm..
I don't know that looks pretty complex; you may want to try layers and put the background stuff in a table in a layer below the main stuff.

Well, too be honest with you, I believe that the bg is also too complex, so Ill have to find a simpler picture, but you can combine tables and CSS so that it works seemlessly?

Still looking for help on how to achieve the tiling of that background when I find a simplier picture and how to get rid of those white spaces on thsoe gifs
