    Most browsers only support JPG and GIF.  JPG does not have a
transparency attribute.  GIF Does.  Most image formats are easily
converted to JPG or GIF by using Lview.  I suggest ONLY using JPG
and/or GIF for all your web images.

    You neglected to mention that transparency isn't supported for
most image formats.  IE: JPG, BMP.  At least I don't think they
ever made a BMP version with transparency.
GIF is the most common transparency supported format.

    Most of the old browsers only support JPG and GIF so steer
clear of most any other image format.  I understand that PNG is
becoming popular and that forms of BMP are being adopted.
