I went noodling around in the source, and saw an interesting method of doing rollovers via CSS. For their main navigation at the top, as well as the tabbed boxes on the lower right side, they create the rollover effect by shifting the background image (such as http://abcnews.go.com/images/site/btn_header_nav.gif ). I realize that by doing this, they alleviate the problem of having to preload the rollover images. They also perform the rollover without javascript (another plus). But I'm curious as to any other benefits of this method. I thought it quite intelligent, actually. Reminds me of the old WinAmp skinning images.
