Nice.  If for some reason you prefer your image filenames to describe
the image rather than what you're using it for, you can always try
something like <img src="emptyCircle.gif?rollover=solidCircle.gif">
and scripting your way around that!

I thought CSS was *the* unobtrusive way to do rollovers, with a hover
HTC behavior for IE if necessary (if you want rollovers on elements
that aren't hyperlinks).
