css image sprite hover background conflicts with my text hover - css-sprites

Question

My image sprite works fine as long as I delete my hover text links on the same css page. The hover in the image sprite and the hover in the text link style seem to be conflicting. How do I get the text link styles back? Do I use a separate css for the text link, will it still conflict?
HTML
><div id="page-bg"><img src="x" width="100%" height="100%" /></div>
<div id="container">
<div id="header1">
<ul id="navlist1">
<li id="login"></li>
<li id="getmail"></li>
<li id="quotebtn"></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>

I got it to work now. All I did was open a blank page and added css to the page properties for links and headers, etc., to see how they layed out the css and re-arranged my css to be like the one that dreamweaver makes as far as where the tags are in order. Anyway, it fixed the problem.
