Many sites place an HTML version of menu navigation at the bottom of the screen.

I would use CSS, with links, and title tags.

Not tested.

Code:

a.menu
{
width:100px;
height:25px;
background: transparent url(image.gif) repeat-x;
}
a#aPage:hover /* Not sure on the syntax */
{
background-image: url(page_image.gif);
}

<a href="page.html" class="menu" title="Page" id="aPage"></a>

You could also look into 'sprites' - placing all the navigation images in a single image (like a bar), then adjust the offset point.
