Article on extending css spriting, and a cross-browser technique that uses divs, anchors, and clipping to get the same effect as background image clipping. Why?
- You can’t attach alternate text to divs for accessibility purposes
- CSS Spriting and the IE6 PNG fix are incompatible
- The images will not print out on printouts unless the client option to print background images is selected (this is bad for logos and menus, etc)
- For images in pages (that are not actually background images), it seems semantically bad to hide the image in CSS.
