Horizontal menu with picture sprite

[JustRob]

Hello, I'm making a website with a picture sprite for the horizontal menubar. Meaning, both the "normal" and "hover" states in one big image, beneath each other. But I have a problem, obviously I still need to put text in between the <a> tags, but how do I make that text invisible so only the image is displayed? Right now if you click and hold and move your mouse over the menu the text is selected, which is something I do not want. I've done this in the past, on my website http://www.robbertbruggeman.nl/, but I can't figure out for the life of me how I did it back then.

Display the <a> tags an block element.example:

<a href="home.html" style='display:block'><!--No text needed here!--></a>

I have that:

.menubar a{	float: left;	display: block;	height: 100%;	text-align: center;	text-decoration: none;	color: #FFF;	width: 100%;	background: url(menu/menubar.png) no-repeat;}

But still no go. The text appears above the image.

I dont realy get you! If you dont want text between the <a> tags, why put it?

[JustRob]

Because otherwise there's nothing to click. I think.

Can i see the html?

Oh, actually, I did remove the text and it seems to be working now. I didn't think that would work.
