Text on sprite button disappears on rollover

[mikes]

I am using a sprite to create a rollover button that I can display text on. It works just fine when the page loads.When I mouse over the button, it changes the background position just like it should but the text disappears.

Here is my css:

Code:

A.button, A.button:LINK, A.button:VISITED, A.button:ACTIVE, {
float: left;
display: block;
background: transparent url(images/button.gif) no-repeat 0px 0px;
overflow: hidden;
height: 25px;
width: 127px;
margin-right: 8px;
line-height: 29px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
}
A.button:HOVER {
background-position: 0px -25px;
}

and I am calling it like this:

Code:

Press Me

I could create an image with the text embedded in the image but I want a generic button that I can reuse.

What am I missing here?

I’m such a dork!

By default I have:

Code:

A { color: 000000; }
A:hover { color: ffffff; }

Of course my black text on a white button was ‘disappearing’ on rollover.
Geez, what a noob! :oops:
