background-image and link?

[Rich West]

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? I'd like to add a background
image as a rollover in the hover condition (mouse over). I've tried the
following code and it works in NS7 but not in IE6.

Here's what I put in the style sheet. The links are <a> elements in the div
named menu.

div#menu a:link {
display: block;
margin: 14;
color: #65786D;
font-size: 14pt;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
}

div#menu a:visited {
display: block;
margin: 14;
color: #65786D;
font-size: 14pt;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
}

div#menu a:hover {
display: block;
margin: 14;
color: #65786D;
font-size: 14pt;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
background-image: url(mtxtbkg.jpg);
}

Also, do I need to repeat all the code for each case? Or just what changes?
Do I need a style for the a element alone?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Maybe I can answer my own question: adding a background-color to the hover
condition seems to have fixed the problem. I don't know why, but it's
probably a good idea anyway incase some browser doesn't display the image.

a URL would have been much better

it depends, usually just what changes. fun giggly things like the
cascade, inheritance and bugs have an effect.

Do I need a style for the a element alone?

if its different from the default.

Sorry I didn't post the URL. It wasn't up yet but now it is:

Thanks,
