Besides, unlike image sprites, minification comes at no cost (for the author, or the user). -- Regards, Thierry | www.tjkdesign.com | www.ez-css.com | @thierrykoblentz ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
