Ok, an example (not with sprite....) The problem is that IE is not rendering something, so nothing to hover....
(transparent.gif should be in the same folder as the style.css)
===================================
a.hidden
{
position: absolute;
z-index:50;
display:block;
/*give the ie something to render*/
background-image: url(transparent.gif);
/* uncomment next line if you like to see the links*/
/*
background-color: #f00;
*/
}
a.hidden img
{
border: 0px solid black;
visibility: hidden;
}
a.hidden:hover img
{
visibility: visible;
/* maybe give it a try without z-index, too*/
z-index:50;
}
===================================
