Re: [WSG] Image replacement menu that works with images off

I thought I'd post back to let you know what I came up with. It turned out that I was able to use Thierry's solution (http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/tip.asp). Result can be seen here http://geekministry.com/yeah/index.php If I'm using a BR before the text it is because of IE that shows tiny ico

Re: [WSG] Image replacement menu that works with images off

Hi Mike, Sorry, I've had a closer look now and see how you've done it. My only problem with that method would be that you've needed to apply overflow: hidden to a block level element above the block level element that holds the anchor and span. This is probably OK for something like a heade

Maybe I'm missing something but you've got an image in your HTML. That's not really an image replacement method in that case. On Wed, 27 Sep 2006 08:17:03 +1000, Mike at Green-Beast.com <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: John Faulds wrote: It should be pointed out that this method has problems wh
