Image rollovers. [SOLVED]

[Benjamin]

Hello guys

I was having a look at this site off a google ad and just kept browsing and found this mock up template.
http://www.templateaccess.com/demos/log ... index.html

When you try to use the naviagte bar you'll see that on hover there is a dark grey rounded edge box behinf the text, just wondered if this was CSS image rollovers would people guess? Or if not, what would peoples ideas be? I'm trying to get better at CSS

Considering that template uses jQuery, it wouldn't surprise me if that navigation would be done using jQuery as well.

But it can be done with normal JavaScript or CSS as well.

Thanks Tino,

Would it just be preloading the images and swapping them on hover?

[Tino]

Depends on what technology you want to use

But the idea is right, yes. Load the images, but do not display them. Then, when it's hovered over, display them, and let them disappear when the mouse gets taken off of them.

Just to add on this concept: those images are usually called sprites...
