CSS Sprite techniques, css background or img's clip
- by Viktor
Hi,
There are two image sprite techniques.
The "classic" version uses the background and the background-position css properties.
(as it's described here http://www.alistapart.com/articles/sprites)
The "second" version uses an image tag and it's clip css property.

My question is that are there advantages of using the "second" version over the "classic" version?
thanks and best,
Viktor
