A jQuery factory for creating sprites from images. Each sprite created from a Sprite Factory is assumed to be the same size
Features * Works from a rectuangluar grid of sprites. * Fast, good for rendering large numbers of similar sprites * Preloading CSS for large images (will add the 'loading' class to the element until the image has been loaded) * Can use transparent PNGS for IE6 and IE7 * Light mode, using half the number of elements (only suitable for non-transparent images) Demo => http://weepy.github.com/sprite-factory Blog Post => http://blog.parkerfox.co.uk/2009/10/07/jquery-sprite-factory/
