Are there any web applications to merge small images into a single one?
Is there any application to merge small images into a single one in a web application in order to make less HTTP request and have the page load faster? GWT does this automatically and makes proper images + CSS styles to show those images. When I have a plain HTML + CSS is there a helper application which given HTML + CSS + a bunch of s...

Given the following example: http://cl.ly/2UAa How do I use a sprite on the right side of the "see more..." line so that it always adjusts with the width of the text? Should I create a separate element that will float with the text, or is there a way to do it directly within the link. ...
Better dialog shadows in YUI 2 ?
Here's a tricky one: has anybody seen a YUI dialog/panel implementation with nice OS X style shadows around the dialog, instead of the blocky shadow that is implemented by default with the "underlay" element? You can see this type of shadow on Amazon.com popup windows. It requires quite a bit of PNGs but looks very nice. I'm thinking...
Controlling HTML of a WebPart's top-right drop down menu

The rendered HTML for each context menu item looks something like this: <DIV> <A class="menuItem" onclick="stuff" href="javascript:void(0)"> ...

Using sprites in a UL horizontal menu
I'm using a UL to display the options for data visualizations on a site. The items are displayed inline and retrieve the image from a sprite png. This works fine in FireFox 3x, but in Chrome and Safari, the first item disappears. If I replace the sprites with the individual images, all of the list items display properly. Here's the CSS:...

Why should I use CSS3 buttons?
I built a website recently, and decided to create buttons that depress on click with CSS3, pretty cool. But is there really a valid reason to use CSS3 over a sprite, as only the modern browsers show the CSS3 buttons? The client asked me this question, and all I could think of was less http requests, so loading would be slightly faster...
can a background image be negatively positioned to the bottom or right, or only a portion of a picture repeated?
hi, I'm putting together a sprite and have two questions. Something I've always wondered whether possible is negatively positioning a background picture to the right or bottom. A negative position is bread and butter stuff on the left of an element or top but what about the right and bottom? If I have a 500px by 500px div can I then po...

How to make a CSS rollover image? (sprite)
I'm just trying to use this little trick I saw in one of my web design magazines to make a little image rollover but I'm having just a small bit of trouble. My attempt was a terrible fail lol.

What is the recommended way of applying style to a spritegen generated sprite?
Hi All- I'm trying to use the spritegen tool to generate a sprite, but I've found that I either misunderstand the way to correctly apply CSS, or chrome is not handling the background properties correctly. According to their documentation (which would seriously benefit from a working example) You can apply style to a set of elements usi...
Android Web Browser Scaling Works More Effectively for Images than Sprites
Hi All, I'm developing a mobile web application and I have a home screen with a number of icons on it, so I tried to use a sprite to serve all the images in one swoop. I noticed, however, that the iphone4 scaled the images in my sprite fairly well (they looked a little dithered), but on my HTC Evo the sprite rendered images look really...

Give a little room, and then insert a sprite of a certain Mario character, Mario would go next to "Action Figures", Luigi next to "Board Games", so o...
CSS sprites and gradients
Is it possible to put multiple repeating gradients on a single sprite master image? I've got about 5 1px X 400 px gradients that could be combined to reduce the page requests. It's pretty much my last place to go for reducing object requests. I haven't seen any techniques for this while searching. My own experimentation hasn't had good r...
