That was an error. The html page is a document which can have images 
displayed in it. It is NOT an image! Please don't convert html to PNG, 
since it will only be viewable as a static image with none of the other 
embedded images.

  John,
   
  I only converted the graphic  file  from     gif to png.   In the 
contents.html file I changed the IMG attribute to png.  Somehow my IMG 
attribute got deleted from  the  FTP site which I restored with    CuteFTP. If 
you go to the Web site and save the graphic  file it    will show PNG.   But 
the grey box remains. - Gerald

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
