I have a number of images on a page contained within a single sprite image, these images must be contained within the single sprite due to other requirements of the site.

Whilst this is working fine in most browsers I have an issue on Opera Mini where it is not rendering the sprite at all and just displaying the whole image.

Is there any CSS that can be used to provide a text alternative when the browser is unable to render the sprite?

Well, it's more to do with images and memory in general. If I use the same image multiple times on a page, will each image be consolidated in memory? Or will each image use a seperate amount of memory? I'm concerned about this because I'm building a skinning system for a Windows Desktop Gadget… >>> More
