These Sprite buttons are driving me bonkers. I can almost get them to work, but not quite.
I'm playing with this very simple sprite image:

I've got a jsfiddle project >> HERE << if you want to see that, but the code is below if you just want to look at it.
For my CSS, I have the following:
#menu {
left:10px;
top:50px;
height:300px;
width: 147px;
position:fixed;
}
.sprite {
background: url('http://www.jp2code.net/logos/jp2Rollover.png') 0px -100px no-repeat;
height:50px;
padding-left: 50px;
width:147px;
z-index:1;
}
.sprite a {
background-position: 0px 0px;
color:Red;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.sprite a:hover {
background-position: 0px -50px;
color:Yellow;
}
With that, my HTML is simple and small:
<html>
<body>
<ul id="menu">
<li class="sprite">You Are Here</li>
<li class="sprite"><a href="#A">Contact</li>
<li class="sprite"><a href="#B">Projects</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
I can't seem to get my active link image (at position 0) or my hover link image (at position 50) to show.
Also, I'd like to find a way to make the entire rectangular region (50 x 147) the hyperlink.
Could someone help me, please?
Is that what you want to get: http://jsfiddle.net/PZh9F/37/ ?
CSS:
#menu { left:10px; top:50px; height:300px; width: 147px; position:fixed; }
.sprite { background: url('http://www.jp2code.net/logos/jp2Rollover.png') 0px -100px no-repeat; height:50px; padding-left: 50px; width:147px; z-index:1; }
.sprite a { background-position: 0px 100px; color:Red; vertical-align: middle; }
.sprite.current { background-position: 0px 0px; }
.sprite:hover { background-position: 0px -50px; }
.sprite:hover a { color:Yellow; }
And HTML:
<html>
<body>
<ul id="menu">
<li class="sprite current">You Are Here</li>
<li class="sprite"><a href="#A">Contact</li>
<li class="sprite"><a href="#B">Projects</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
