Buttons from Hell

What do you mean exactly by artefacts? Things like JPEG haloes, or the rollover image takes ages to load?

I checked it in IE and it looks fine.

Well what I meant was huge blocks of incorrect images take the place of the button when you place your mouse over it.

Here’s a screenie of what I’m talking about

(The rambles button gets replaces by a weird combination of other images)

In IE here I see that, for a second, then it’s ok. Don’t see it in FF.

You may have to go find a hack for IE.

At the bottom of this page there’s some examples:

This ought to help no end:

it’s not working well in my Firefox, by the way.

Mucho Gracias for all the help guys!

Thanks to maerk’s link I managed to get rewrite the thing to be going good in FF AND IE.
