what is considered best-practice in the web community regarding image swapping?<br />
<br />
- is pre-caching using CSS considered better than cutting a larger image and using relative positioning to display portions of it?<br />
<br />
- is CSS better than JavaScript? Hence always choose CSS over Javascript when it comes to image rollover/hover<br />
<br />
- what is the best resource on the web for example code, discussion, etc. <br />
<br />
I've been recommended this website, <a href="http://wellstyled.com/css-nopreload-rollovers.html" rel="ugc">http://wellstyled.com/css-nopreload-rollovers.html</a>. I've tried to implement this code in a CMS, but it doesnt work well in IE6. There's still flicking issues when it comes to image swapping. <br />
<br />
Thanks. <br />

CSS: image swapping (i.e. image rollover/hover)

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language. Usually used to change web pages and user interfaces written in HTML, it can also be applied to any kind of XML document. CSS is designed primarily to distinguish the content of a document from its presentation.

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.
