Hi.
Why not use pure CSS!?
Each link have its own id and an image containing all versions 
(non-highlighted, highlighted, active). You can than select the image 
part by changing the background position with css (#item1:hover {}; 
#item1:active {}).
The technique is called "image rollover". More details here [1] or at 
alistapart [2].
