Could it be because of the colour depth on the mac? Jpeg makes an approximation of the colours used (like in the original file) for better optimisation. So on the PC its using a different colour depth and the jpeg appears okay but on the mac it has a more limited depth so it doesnt?

Whereas on PC it is seamless. I'm guessing it arises because I use a JPEG for the main middle part, and GIFs for the two sides (or vice versa) and the computer is rendering the colours differently? But on a PC machine it's all fine and no discrepancies can be seen. This also happens on another site I'm developing, where the CSS background-color differs from the JPEG background image on Mac, but looks fine on PC. If anyone knows a solution it would be much appreciated. -- Cameron Adams W: www.themaninblue.com _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
