This is not because of the class, but because NN doesn't recognize styles
for images anyway.

??? What do you mean? Why can't you use as many div's as you like? No
(X)HTML spec limits the number of elements you can use.

<img name=""> is allowed in HTML 4.01, so why not in XHTML? For a mouseover
script based on numbers, see

http://www.xs4all.nl/~ppk/js/

under Archives => Old Mouseover script. This initially uses names, but I
reworked it to use numbers. The script assumes that you want a mouseover
effect for a row of buttons and that there are no images between the
mouseover images in your source code.
