CSS sprites and IE6

Question

Does IE6 support css-sprites?

Answer 1

CSS sprites is a general solution using backround-position, which is avaible even in IE5.

A good tutorial about them is located here: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/04/27/the-mystery-of-css-sprites-techniques-tools-and-tutorials/

Answer 2

Sprites can work perfectly in ie6. But a png image will not work, so use a gif. If you process a gif with Smush.it to losslessly remove overhead, you might get a file size smaller than the corresponding png.

Answer 3

You could just use an online sprites generator. There are so many of them available for free and most of them support all browsers.
