Kelly,

When you save as a ,gif with transparent background, the edges will be 
anti-aliased to white by default. That is the white fringing you are 
observing. To have it antialiased to another colour, set an appropriate 
Matte colour.

You can't use transluceny effects with a .gif as they only support one 
level of transparency - a colour is either on or off, not 50% opaque.

If you want translucency, you have to save as a 24-bit .png file. 
Unfortunately IE versions prior to IE 7 don't have native support for 
24-bit .png and you have to code an HTML page to use the 
AlphaImageLoader active-X control to display them in those browsers.
