Why would you want to keep the bold tag if it's just going to be wrapped around an image?

Hi all, I am a bit stuck here, I've been looking around, but can't seem to find what I'm after. I am fairly new to Jquery and Javascript, so not sure exactly what to look for. Basically I have the following HTML: <div id="topNavigation"> <ul class="firstLevel"> <li class="home"><a href="/index.php"><strong>Home</strong></a></li> <li class="development"><a href="/front-end- development.php">Development</a></li> </ul> </div> I want to use Jquery to go through each list item, delete the text inside the href (not the strong tag though, if there is one), then add an image tag in it's place (whilst retaining the strong tag around the image if it's there). So the generated code would look like this: <div id="topNavigation"> <ul class="firstLevel"> <li class="home"><a href="/index.php"><strong><img src="/images/ topNavHome.gif" alt="Home"/></strong></a></li> <li class="development"><a href="/front-end-development.php"><img src="/images/topNavDevelopment.gif" alt="Development"/></a></li> </ul> </div> Now, I'm not sure if we can come up with a clever loop that uses the text to create the image name and alt tag? There are only 5 fixed links in the full version, so I can do manually if need be. I've been trying to use the wrap/prepend/append methods described here http://docs.jquery.com/Tutorials:Rounded_Corners, but really I need to strip the text and replace it with the image tag. Also, there is a strong tag inside the HREF sometimes to show a selected link. I need to keep that there and have the image tag inside it. I don't expect anyone to write the code for me, but if you can just send me some links or point me in the direction of tutorials where I can learn from, that would be great. Thanks Paul
