Hover vs. Rollovers?

[Susan Addams]

The website I'm working on is using a graphic image for the left navigation
scheme.

Say I've got a button called "home" and one called "home_rollover" where
it's a lighter shade

Is there a way to use css to call the switch between the two? Would hover
work for this? I know very little about it. If so, what would the code be?

Thanks! :)

Put the image in the background, instead of using
<img src="">.
Then use
a:link, a:visited {background-image:url(home.gif);}
a:hover {background-image:url(home_rollover.gif);}
