Background Hides Graphic on Simple HTML Page

    When I added a Hurricane Katrina notification box to Ripley Shirtmakers' index page, I noticed that the RipleyLogo.GIF graphic is hidden by the weave.gif background.

    This does not happen when viewing the page in FrontPage, but it does with IE 6. I don't know if it was that way before adding the Katrina box.

    How can I fix this to reveal the logo? :confused:

    Thank you!

    re-upload the image, i downloaded your whole page and the image didn't come out, and also stop using frontpage, the code is as old as the hills i'm afraid.

    Thank you for the reply, aqi32. The logo GIF is actually there (to the right at the upper part of the page), but the page background image has covered it. As evidence, you can hover over the place where logo should be shown and see its alt text. Evidently the background image is being drawn after the logo image, which is not the order that the html calls them.

    Is there a way to delay rendering of the logo image until after the background image is drawn?

    And you are right, the code is old. It was hand coded in 1996, and now I use FP to edit it. FP actually shows the logo image (and page) as it should be seen...it's just IE that screws it up.
