atrum Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Just a quick best practices question here. I have noticed that some sites use background-color:#hexcodes for a header background, and others use pixel slivers and just repeat-x on the image. I am not talking about gradients, but solid colors blocks. Personally I think that for a solid color background in let's say a menu header or menu item block it's best to just use the background-color. However I was wondering is there an advantage in using slivers over hex codes?

haku Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 None whatsoever if it's not a gradient. Images take many more bites than text, so a CSS declaration will always be better than an image if one can be used. Often one small image will be the same size as an entire CSS file.
