Sprite Image

hi

I am using sprite image in my website is it better use r not

If not why so ?

CSS sprites are very good as they allow to avoid multiple image loading requests. This in turn will improve the performance of your web page loading. I mean your site will make a single image request (for sprite image) instead of making a number of requests.

Lots of good documentation are available about this technique:

Hope this helps
