Thin White Dotted Line Around Graphic Elements

Hi,

We have a Domino web application that has several graphic frames and buttons.

Occasionally and apparently at random - a thin white dotted line appears around certain graphic elements. It seems to be very variable, sometimes the line appears around graphic images and sometimes it doesn’t.

It doesn’t appear to be browser version dependent as two people looking at the same graphic might not see the lines and some will.

Does anyone have any ideas why this happens and how to get rid of it?

Thanks

Mark

I’m going to guess that these graphics have a transparent background colour (probably white) and smooth edges. GIF only allows one colour to be transparent, and the blended colours at the edges that make them appear smooth against a white background are not transparent – they are a much lighter version of the neighboring colour (near-white). If the graphics are going to be used against a non-white background, they need to be created with a non-white background (it doesn’t have to be exactly the same as the background colour of the page, but the closer the better). For use against multiple colours, you can’t use smoothed edges.
