Hello,
I have a jsp (will eventually move it to a servlet) that generates a
dynamic image
I have been following an article
http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2004/04/22/images.html (Dynamic Text
section.)
so my simple test looks like:
<table width=100 border=1>
<tr><td><img src="/jsp/test/imageFont.jsp"> </td></tr>
</table>
The problem is i can not figure how how to make the image with a
transparent back ground.
Below is the code in imageFont.jsp
Thanks for any help
