Cool, we had the same thought. :) I was playing with the same idea some
time ago. I took a different approach though, relative positioning and
visibility. As you, I had limited success. Works in K-Meleon so I guess it
works in Moz, works not in Opera and IE5 (all Windows). I would be
interested to know if it works in IE6. I uploaded it here:

An interesting thing is that the image swap do work in IE5 when the link is
active but not on hover. Maybe I've made a mistake somewhere? And why
doesn't it work in Opera? Grrrr.
