the way i usually to do it is to use one background image with multiple states that you can just have shift around depending on the users actions. in my experience background images don't take long to load so you won't see that little flicker you see if you're swapping out an image hope that helps Jeff ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
