Hi

following on from the recent conversation discussing CSS IR techniques
what's the collective opinion on roll-over techniques these days?

Preferably it's text and a switched background on hover but when the
design dictates that images must be used for the actual nav item I've
used many different css techniques, some more convoluted then others.
However yesterday when implementing one I decided to go back to the
old school and - whilst ensuring the the element had a title and alt
tag - I simply used an image for the list element and
onmouse[over|out] for the roll-overs.

What are you doing?
