[NCLUG] OT: transparent jpg

[mike cullerton]

hey folks, this is slightly off topic, but it is for a website hosted on a
linux box :)

anyway, is there such thing as a transparent jpg. in photoshop, if a make a
simple graphic and try to save it as jpg, i can't find an option to make it
transparent. the same image, if saved as a gif, can be saved as transparent.

is transparency not possible in the jpg format?

thanks,
mike
