They DO work.  Only, because you did not preload them and they are rather
large (filesize - each button is around 6k), they take a while to come up.
Every time you "mouseover", they are loaded from the web again.  You would not
have noticed this on your hard-drive as it would be much faster than loading
from the web.

Haven't got time to launch into how to preload right now.  Perhaps check this
example (an oldie I made up quite some time ago, before NAME was "valid
HTML"): http://www.betterwebdesign.com.au/example/

Suggest you work on your filesize too - 6K for small-ish button is too much.
10 buttons = 60K = 20 seconds on a 28.8k modem, on a good day.  You should be
able to get them down to less than 2K each, perhaps even 1K.
