NAVT – Using a:hover

Is it possible to use hover effects for image rollovers when choosing a link to have a “graphical link”?

So far, I have the css class being followed for the button as “verify”. That verify property reads as follows:

.verify {background:url(images/navigation.jpg); background-position:-254px 0px; width: 111px; border: 0;
 display: block;
height:40px;
}
#menu a.verify:hover {background:url(images/navigation.jpg); background-position:-254px -40px;}

Now, the only way I *have* gotten hover to work was to use the anchor type as “Use CSS class” instead of “graphic link”. Only problem if I go that method is that I get the hover effect, but at the cost of having graphical text show up over it. Since the button already has text, I do not need the dynamic text to show up.

Anyone know of a solution to have my cake and eat it too or is this just too much to ask of this graphical navigation plugin?
