Auto Sprite 1.0

[Stephen]

Hi all,

Just want to announce my auto_sprite gem which some of you may find handy.. It makes using CSS sprites painless.  As a bonus - should you remove it some day, it doesn't break you app, it just reverts to <img> tags..

Full docs are at http://fargle.org/auto_sprite


In a pinch:

1. Include the stylesheet in your layout:

        <%= stylesheet_link_tag "auto_sprite" %>
   

2. Create a directory called sprites in your images directory (e.g. RAILS_ROOT/public/images/sprites)
3. Put the images you want to link to in your public/images/sprites directory.
4. Use your images like you normally would:

   <%= image_tag ‘sprites/logo.png’ %>
   <%= image_tag ‘sprites/icon1.jpg’ %>

5. Reload you application and enjoy your now faster website.

Enjoy!
Stephen

Not yet, but I'll have to try. This looks very interesting!

Would love to hear feedback/suggestions if anyone has some to share..
