Web Image (GIF) with transparent background showing white edges

[Surfer513]

I'm having this odd problem that I can't seem to figure out. I have a web image (gif format) with a transparent background (deleted the background layer before saving as a gif), and when the image is against a darker webpage, the text of the image (that is basically all the image is, just blended text) has white pixels around the edges of the text. Did I do something wrong when I deleted the background, or how I saved the file???

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like a poor selection of the background that only shows up, or shows up best, on a dark background.

I don't think I understand. The background I deleted so that the image would be "transparent". There's only one layer, and that's some formatted text with blending options.

If I understand what your saying, you see some white fringing around the letters when viewed on a dark background.
It sounds to me like whatever method you used to select the background and delete it did not select all of the background pixels.
This isn't noticeable until you view it on a dark background.

Do the same selection and delete the background.
Create a new layer and fill it with black to see what your selection missed and correct it.
