A sprite combines multiple background images into a single image. This is a technique for making web pages faster because it reduces the number of downloads in the page.

Background images make pages look good, but also make them slower. Each background image is an extra HTTP request. There’s a fix: combine background images into a CSS sprite. But creating sprites is hard, requiring arcane knowledge and lots of trial and error.

SpriteMe removes the hassles with the click of a button.

• Finds background images
• Groups images into sprites
• Generates the sprite
• Recomputes CSS background-positions
• Injects the sprite into the current page

CSS3 brings with it some incredibly powerful styling features. Rounded corners, soft drop shadows, gradient fills, and so on. These are the kinds of elements our designer friends love to use because they make for attractive sites, but are difficult and time-consuming to implement, involving complex sprite images, extra non-semantic markup, large JavaScript libraries, and other lovely hacks.

As Internet Explorer has serious issues supporting CSS3 features and for those designers / developers who are facing such issues; Greepit previously shared couple of resources to add CSS3 support to Internet Explorer, checkout IE-CSS3 and Modernizr.

PIE (progressive internet explorer) is an IE attached behavior (.htc file) which makes Internet Explorer 6-8 capable of rendering several of the most useful CSS3 decoration features.

Its always a pain to handle lengthy CSS files during the web development process. Redundant and repetitive code in a CSS file makes it difficult to handle and understand.

dotless, a .NET port of the popular Ruby LESS library, adds variables, nested rules and operators support to CSS which helps removing the redundant code and hence leads to a better, DRY and Less CSS.

Below is a simple example to show how dotlesscss works:

Traditional CSS


#page-header h1{
font-size:30px;
color:#3366cc;
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
}


#faq h1{
font-size:30px;
color:#3366cc;
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
border-bottom:3px solid #000;
}


Using dotlesscss


@main_heading{
font-size:30px;
color:#3366cc;
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
}



#page-header h1{
@main_heading
}



#faq h1{
@main_heading
border-bottom:3px solid #000;
}


That’s why I called it CSS Programming.

Features

• Transparent Less compilation through HttpHandler
• Console Compiler
• Built-in CSS Compression
• Keeps your CSS file DRY (don’t repeat yourself)

dotless is (definitely) a Time-saving ‘CSS Programming’ tool for ASP.Net Developers and it opens the way to become a CSS Programmer as well.
