Image swap on rollover

I have a need to have an image on a page changed to an alternate image
when the mouse passes over the image. Is there an easy way to do it with
Rails?

If this is really a css fix, what should I be looking at in css?

Thanks in advance

To me it will depend on the size of the image…

Big photo that you want to switch out with another big photo - maybe
AJAX request or something, a’la Flickr.

Small gif/jpg/png image, like a menu bar or basic highlight or something

This example should help (it’s part of a css design i had to do for
an ad agency, so there are quite a few superfluous image files in
there).


I can recommend the book CSS Mastery (http://www.cssmastery.com/), it
has all these cases nicely explained (including the fancy rollovers
you see on flickr).
