No, not necessarily. It depends on how many different blocks of three images you need to use.
This method uses a single combined 3 image block for a vertical menu and works cross-browser: You'd need to set inline params for a horizontal menu. It doesn't cater for sub-items, but once you have mastered this, it's a fairly easy progression. HTML: <div id="menu"> <ul> <li><a href="item1.html">Item1</a></li> <li><a href="item2.html">Item2</a></li> <!-- and as many more or less <li> items as you need --> </ul> </div> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CSS #menu { /* Create box/position for menu with a background image if required */ } #menu ul { /* Set position and padding/margins of <ul> within menu box */ } #menu li { /* Remove <li> defaults */ list-style:none; } #menu li a { background-image:url(3 part single image url goes here); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position:0 0; /* Set width, height etc */ } #menu li a:hover { background-position:0 -73px; /* Change position to suit image sizes */ } #menu li a:active { background-position:0 -146px; /* Change position to suit image sizes */ } --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just add appropriate sizes and positions to suit your images, and remove anchor default coloring as necessary.
