    <p>The whole technique described seems problematic to me. </p> <p>Jennifer's points:</p> <ol> <li>You can’t attach alternate text to divs for accessibility purposes</li> <li>CSS Spriting and the IE6 PNG fix are incompatible</li> <li>The images will not print out on printouts unless the client option to print background images is selected (this is bad for logos and menus, etc)</li> <li>For images in pages (that are not actually background images), it seems semantically bad to hide the image in CSS.</li> </ol> <p>On 1, given that these are background images and not semantically images in their own right I think the correct approach is to put that text directly in the markup and hide it with CSS, rather than the other way around.</p> <p>Number 2 is valid, but not the end of the world. To act on 3 is an abuse imho - if the user doesn't want to print background images, why are you forcing this? Again this comes back to semantic interpretation.</p> <p>Number 4 I completely agree with, but then if you're just hiding the image in the conglomeration of a sprite'd image anyway what do you gain? You could debate this, but an <code>&lt;img&gt;</code> has a semantic meaning representing a resource with a URI and as such that URI should be distinct, not dependant on interpreted CSS. View/Copy/Save Image is going to be negatively affected by this.</p> <p>It also seems to react quite slowly in my FF (which admittedly is subject to tab abuse), I imagine the clipping maths is taking a not inconsiderable effort.</p> <p>Long story short, I think the existing background-image/position technique is superior.</p>

    2. CO(no excuses for people DVing a legitimate answer without leaving a comment though... some people are so rude!) You're right that this technique is no replacement for classic sprites in all cases, but it could be a potentially useful tool for certain less common cases where sprites are desirable for images that *are* semantic and *are* part of the main flow of content that a user would expect to see printed, e.g. a set of elements of diagrams, or a set of icons that are used in articles' content.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
