Thanks a lot, this is what I need. 

Another quick question, if I put this in CSS:
A:hover {background: #003366; text-decoration: none; display:block}
the layer changes size and put an extra space under the link I am hovering on 
(I belive hover only works for IE > 5 and NS > 6 or Mozilla > 1.0.0).

Why does this happen? You can look here:

Thanks a lot.
