it's all in how you approach it.  the trick is to have both images requested
from the server when the page is loaded into the browser.  you do this by
stacking them.  the "on" state is a background of the element containing the
link.  the "off" state is a background of the link itself for :link and
:visited pseudo-classes.  you set the background-image to none for :focus,
:hover, and :active pseudo-classes allowing the "on" state on the containing
element to shine through.
