HTML and CSS Reference
In-Depth Information
Some tools, like the one by Project Fondue, o " er CSS output options. Steve
Souders' tool SpriteMe is another one that o " ers CSS coding options.
SpriteMe will convert an existing website's background images into a single
sprite image (what I've been referring to as a “mega” sprite) that you can
download and insert into your page with the necessary CSS code. While this
tool will assist with the creation of sprites, it doesn't seem to o " er much help
in the area of sprite maintenance. Souders' tool seems to be useless for a
website that is redesigned or realigned, and only seems to provide benefit
to an existing design that has not yet used the mega sprite method.
Improvements to current tools could be made, and newer tools could
appear in the future. But is it possible, due to some of the drawbacks
mentioned above, that developers are focusing a lot of e " ort on a very
minimal gain?
