I created some images and eliminated the background in Photoshop. I tried to save them as a JPEG but I got a WHITE background. Is there anyway to keep the background transparent? I opened the image as a JEPG, deleted the background again, but the WHITE background returned. What am I doing wrong? Can anybody help?

Nope. JPG does not keep transparancy. But png does, if you want to use it online (older browsers do not accept png files very well). Saving the file as an photoshop document will also keep the layer intact. And .gif keeps transparancy, but might not have the right look or creates bigger files when using a lot of colors.

.tif and .psd files support transparency as well.
