  4. I’m having trouble adding 2 different hyperlinks within the text that rolls over. I want to link two words 2 separate places, but the CSS seems to only allow for one link. Any suggestions? Is this possible?

  5. Thanks for sharing. How would you do the same thing but using different images instead of the same one?

  6. Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have tried and tried to figure out how to make a symbol or text apear when hovering over an image. Thank you again.

  7. Great tutorial!!

    I managed to get this to work but I changed the CSS to show an image on hover. It works great on all browsers except for IE. Do you have any advice? Below is the adjusted code.

    .rollover_img a:hover {
    background:#000;
    opacity:.60;
    filter:alpha(opacity=60);
    }

    — to

    .rollover_img a:hover {
    background: url(imagefile.png) ;
    }

    Thanks again!!
