Creating CSS menu / hover using single image

CREATE CSS MENU - HOVER SINGLE IMAGE

We will use the following image to create hover effect. The dimensions of this image are 974px X 200px. Basically, this is more of a code snippet than a tutorial. One thing to remember is the a:hover background position. You have to go on adding the width of a single piano ( which in this case is 97px ) for every subsequent hover.

The HTML code

<ul>
<li><a id="menu1" title="menu1" accesskey="1" href="#"></a></li>
<li><a id="menu2" title="menu2" accesskey="2" href="#"></a></li>
<li><a id="menu3" title="menu3" accesskey="3" href="#"></a></li>
<li><a id="menu4" title="menu4" accesskey="4" href="#"></a></li>
<li><a id="menu5" title="menu5" accesskey="5" href="#"></a></li>
</ul>

The CSS code

<style>
ul, li {
list-style-type: none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
ul {
position: absolute;
left: 50px;
top: 50px;
background: transparent url(piano.jpg) top left no-repeat;
height: 200px;
width: 487px;
text-align: center;
border: 1px solid #555;
}
li {
display: inline;
}

li a {
display: block;
height: 200px;
width: 97px;
line-height: 40px;
color: #ECEC00;
font-size: 18px;
font-family: verdana,georgia, serif;
text-decoration: none;
float:left;
}
li a:hover {
color: #43271B;
background: transparent url(piano.jpg) top left no-repeat;
}
a#menu1:hover {
background-position: -487px 0% ;/* move of background for each button */
}
a#menu2:hover {
background-position: -584px 0% ;
}
