Need help - illustrator to dreamweaver

[SnapThrottle]

Such a simple question for anyone with any graphics experience.

I'm trying to place a simple red logo i drew in illustrator cs3 into a black BG dreamweaver page but keep getting bits of white pixels around the edges of the logo, is this some sort of vector-raster conversion problem?

I tried redrawing the logo in illustrator on a black BG then importing it into the black dreamweaver page but end up getting a thin white rectangular outline around the logo BG.

I am saving the logo.ai using the "save for web" option and have tried a few of the options (gif, png etc...) with only minor improvements. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Are you using a transparency?

I am drawing it on a transparent background which causes white "edges" around certain parts of the logo, I have also tried drawing it on a black background and that causes a very thin white rectangular box around the perimieter of the image background.

If the background is the same as what you're placing it on it should match

try cropping the image, with the logo on the black colour, so it chops off the white edges

That seems to work, but I must be doing something wrong to begin with. I just want to be able to draw something in illustrator and upload it to web, without having to crop it etc...

I have done a temp page of my problem, please visit and advise and notice how the cropped image reveals 2 diiferent shades of black even though both "should" be #00000.

I think you are experiencing some sort of optical illusion on the cropped image... looks fine here. also, no visible difference in the black bg -vs- cropped.

From certain angles you can see a difference in shade/contrast of black.

The is no difference between black bg and cropped but there is a white rectangular outline around the black bg.

Keep in mind i am new at this so could be missing something real basic.
