Always looking for new ways in which to implement CSS and this certainly is a good one. I’ve already played about with it and found it quite easy and it seems to be an extremely good way to present things.
Wonderful tutorial, many thanks.

182 buttons - how to do?

Hello, studying your great tutorial and trying to get to the same results I have some big problems with this button-thing. Even with a exactly same picture and your css-code (!) I don’t get to the same result… How do you count the values for the image itself and the borders and how do you get this image in the middle of the page without coding it???
I’m willing to learn but now I need a litte or more help. Thanks a lot!

183 button-sprites

Hello, in the meantime paul o’brien from sitepoint helped me with my centering-problem. Shorthand-coding is not my speciality… (margin top and bottom with px and right/left with “auto”).
The rest of the story I solved with a little help from my partner who askes the right questions. But I still don’t understand why you used the dummy-background-image for the ul – that makes no sense to me. Also the 1px add to the width of the picture/ul I see but don’t understand.
So if you, dave, or somebody else could explain me, I would appriciate!
