[TYPO3-hci] <IMG> vs CSS-backgrounds

[Peter Klein]

+1

I just made a JS based config utility for TinyMCE RTE, and made a version 
with seperate images, and one using CSS, with just one big image.
And the loading speed/size improvements are VERY noticable when using the 
CSS method.

Version using single IMG tags.

CSS-object system is much more dynamic - You could invent rules on hover, on 
click, and Your default image could be easily transformed into another 
presentation. IMG will stay image. Of course we could put an aditional cover 
of CSS on IMG, to applly another representation than default, but it would 
be better from begining make full CSS implementation.
