Image Sprites
- An image sprite is a technique in CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) used to combine multiple images into a single image.
- This is done to reduce the number of server requests when loading a webpage, which can improve page loading times.
- Image sprites are commonly used for creating buttons, icons, and other user interface elements.
How you can create and use an image sprite in CSS:
- Gather all the individual images you want to combine into a single sprite image. These can be icons, buttons, or any other images.
- Use an image editing tool, such as Photoshop or GIMP, to create a single image that contains all the individual images. This single image is your sprite sheet.
Add the Sprite Image to Your HTML:
- In your HTML file, add an <img> element to display the sprite image. Set the src attribute to the path of the sprite image.
<img src="path-to-your-sprite.png" alt="Image Sprite">
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<style type="text/css">
.sprite {
background: url("Capture.png") no-repeat;
width: 280px;
height: 200px;
display: inline-block;
}
.flag1 {
background-position: 0px 0px;
}
.flag2 {
background-position: -255px 0px;
}
.flag3 {
background-position: -510px 0px;
}
.flag4 {
background-position: -765px 0px;
}
body {
text-align: center;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<h1>Flag Image Sprite</h1>
</div>
<div class="sprite flag1"></div>
<div class="sprite flag2"></div>
<div class="sprite flag3"></div>
