Hi Ben, On 16/07/07, Ben Maurer <bmaurer@andrew.cmu.edu> wrote: <quote> One other thing I did this weekend was to play around with using CSS sprites rather than <img> tags. This is important for us because it reduces the load on our servers (fewer http requests). We now have HTML that looks like: <a href="javascript:.."><span class="class1"></span><span>Get a new challenge</span></a> "class1" has a background image set, and we use some tricks with positioning to hide the <span> for visual browsers (without setting it to display:none). Are there any issues with doing this? </quote> It would fail visually when CSS is available, but images are disabled (for example, to save bandwidth for dial-up users or people who pay by the byte for downloads).
