unwanted image borders

I am creating a website that will exist on a CD. I am insterting a white image
on a white background color. I am also using templates and no CSS. The image
that I insert keeps showing with a thin greyish border around it. How can I get
the image to just be what the image is, a white image on a white background?

This white image on a white background? I take it that the background to
the image you are inserting onto the white background is white and not
the actual image itself, otherwise you wouldnt see it?

You can either mask out the image background in some image editing
software, such as Photoshop, Fireworks etc, or make the white background
the image is being inserted onto the colour of the background of the
image, which obvioussly isn't quite white.

Did that make sense. I don't know.

The website is set to a white background, #ffffff. As I am inserting an image
into one of the cells of the Template, the image is inserted with a greyish
thin border. The border is thicker on the left and top sides than the right and
bottom sides. The image is also a .jpg optimized in Photoshop. when viewing
this page on a browser, the thin border is seen on IE, Net/Mozilla, and Safari.
I would just like to have that little border removed so that it is not visible.

When I convert the image to a .gif, the border is dropped off. There must be some sort of translation of a .jpg that renders these images with a thin border around it.

Is this the border on the table, or part of the image itself? To see, open
the image in a browser all by itself and see if there is a border. If so,
then it's part of your image and you just need to go back and edit it in an
image editor.

If it's in a table, then perhaps it's the table border you see.

If the image is a link, perhaps it's the active link color you see.

Or you just have a 'muddy' image. Are you cropping these JPGs out of a
larger image?

Note that when you save an image as a JPG, the colors are not preserved to
their exact value. Ie, if you set the image background to absolute white,
when saving as a JPG, the white may shift ever so slightly and cause a
noticable shift between the image and the page's background color.

apparently you're having a problem using photoshop (or FireWorks). It's
not a problem with Dreamweaver.
It doesn't make much sense that if you save the same image as a gif the
border desappears.

Lots of strange things strike me in your post:
Why put a white image on a white background?...
If the image is white, why use a jpeg instead of a gif (a one-color flat
image will be much smaller as gif than as jpeg)?...
