I would like to know what you guys think of my css rollover images.

I have heard that its not good to have images of text for links but I do. I was using javascript to do the rollovers before and it was faster at the rollover but then someone talked me into doing it with css and its slower on the rollover but now the links across the top of my page will not display to blind users. At lest not as far as I can tell.

Do you guys have any idea what I should do about the accessibility?

Do you guys have any idea how I can speed up the rollover process?

My site is http://www.drysnot.com

I have added links at the bottom of my page that allow navigation but its kinda just going around the problem. As for the rollover speed I don't know what to do maybe if I can preload the animated images.

Oh and one more thing with my level of html and css knowledge if you don't feel like you are talking to an idiot I may not be understanding what you are talking about lol

Not quite sure this will solve your problem, maybe you could adapt this to suit. I used a background image with static text as the link, the background image changed on rollover. Create a single graphic made up of both the standard link button background, and the hover background. The standard background is 30px tall and fills the top part of the graphic, the hover background is also 30px tall and fills the bottom part of the graphic, giving a graphic element at 60px tall.

In normal mode the top 30px is visible, in hover the bottom 30 px is visible.

The CSS looks like;
.nav a:link, .nav a:visited {
width: 160px ; height: 30px ; display: block; overflow:hidden;
background: url(’images/nav1.gif’) 0px 0px no-repeat;
}
.nav a:hover, .nav a:active{
background-position: 0px -30px;
}
