Composition and declaration of sprited images in a web page style sheet

Abstract:

A method, computer program product, and system for composition and declaration of tiled images in a style sheet. Embodiments commence upon identifying a cascaded style sheet (CSS) repository, wherein the CSS repository comprises referenced images that correspond to a subset of a set of images that are referenced in rules and fetching the referenced images that are within the CSS repository. The referenced images that were fetched are assembled into a spirited image. The spirited image is then augmented by placing high-resolution images into a sprited layout, wherein the high-resolution images correspond to the referenced images from the rules. One or more modified CSS sheets that references the sprited image rather than the referenced images are generated.
