css sprites - Why would someone use pure CSS styled buttons over a bitmap/SpriteSheet technique? -

-

we have ongoing discussion @ job best way deploy buttons on our websites. art directors ask buttons in pure css, prefer make spritesheets in photoshop. argument- kerning, text-effects drop-shadow , aliasing better coming out of photoshop. argument- lose seo points, translation engines can't change buttons.

i'm sure there arguments both sides- missing obvious either of these arguments?

well, one, pure css buttons load faster, few lines of code. many things can't done in css/js, have images, , consume bandwidth. can save bandwidth, should. alone killer argument if speed priority project.

.

about effects looking better out of photoshop... wouldn't neccessarily agree here. don't think browser implementations bad in way, have beat those, first.

.

also, drawing button image cost more time writing lines of code. same applies changing button. maintainability on css side ;)

.

i don't think translation argument applies. if "localization engine" can handle different css style/style classes/texts different languages, should able handle different images/sprites different languages well.

.

about seo: if have fallback text button or image (in case cannot loaded, imo standard behaviour), should apply search engines string does. though i'm not 100% sure here.
