On my spare time, I’m helping a friend and making a website. Tools at hand: Illustrator 9 (incl all patches) and Dreamweaver3. Before you ask, they’re legit and I have the original disks.

Problem is, whenever I create a jpg in Illustrator, w/ background color, and then “save for web…” the end result comes up in Dreamweaver with a thin white border. I want to do my own graphics and not resort to clip art, I mean, how hard is it to draw an envelope. But it looks ugly with that thin white line.
