CSS rollovers without the flicker

August 21st, 2003

Fast rollovers, no preload needed – excellent experiment to be tried later. “When using CSS rollovers with images, two, three, or more images must be loaded (and preloaded for best results) – one imgae for each state (normal, hover, active, visited etc). Putting all pictures into one image makes dynamic changes faster and requires no preload.”
