I would have to agree with Kayjey.  I spent hours trying to implement "low
bandwidth rollovers" as seen in:
http://www.webreference.com/dhtml/column2/

...Only find that it would not work properly on WebTV.  Its simply too much
work for something that will never be universally compatible.

I also suggest that you go with plain image rollovers.

I hope this helps.
