The problem is the images look positively horrible as gifs, while
tolerably horrible at transparent PNGs. But, I guess if it fixes the
link problem that maybe what I have to do.

Hi Scott,
As I asked in my first reply <http://archivist.incutio.com/viewlist/
css-discuss/73735>: why don't you forget the png's with their IE-hack
troubles?
* Instead of pasting the images directly in the background, you can
also make transparent gif's of them. For the images you used,
there is no quality loss (from 16M colors to 256 colors!)
visible. [1]
* Winning lots of download speed too.
* No IE styles for this needed, no hiding IE styles needed for the
css-validator.
* In the meantime, the problem with the background clickable - but
not the img itself: solved.
See testpage <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/
test-rturn.htm>.
Gretings,
francky
[1] In case there are several pages with this background and this
menu (or in case this is just the only one), you can paint everything
in the body-background image (saving even more kB's).
In case there are more pages with the same menu (= menu-images), but
with a different background, you can use the example of the testpage.
