I'd love to see a jSprite plugin :-) Perhaps you could use a 2d array for the sprites. X direction could be the sprite and Y could be it's Type ?
Another question, do you know if this would work with IE6 with transparent PNGS that have been fixed with a DXFilter ? The reason I ask is that I recently discounted sprites as a useful method because background-position doesn't work with IE6 and DXFilter. Your method might open this up. *...( On Aug 11, 4:51 pm, "Glen Lipka" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ive been experimenting with icon sprites.
