Xtremer360 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 With my custom CMS I'm developing I have a menu structures type module where the admin can create a menu structures for their website. Inside the db is the links table and I'm trying to figure out what I can do if the link has an actual image. I created a field called link_image however I just thought of what if the link is apart of a sprite which would have most of the time 3 parts of the image (active, hover, normal) or whatever or has its own sprite. How should I handle this if I want to store this information in the database. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Ask if the image is a sprite and, if so, whether it's horizontal or vertical. If the former then the sprite is 1/3rd the width of the image, and if the latter then the sprite is 1/3rd the height of the image. Use background-position (or whatever) to move around the image's viewport by that amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
