The HTML can be changed like this:
<li><a href="chapter.html"><img src="images/chapter.gif" />Chapter</a></li>

This will also work in other browsers that don't support that CSS feature. I
used the CSS because the list images are part of the presentation style and
it was much easier to implement Show/Hide in JavaScript changing only the
class name. But now as we decided do not use JS for menu I see that there is
no need to have this in CSS. And we can have differently styled images for
different skins if we need but use the same file names.
