1. You can’t attach alternate text to divs for accessibility purposes
2. CSS Spriting and the IE6 PNG fix are incompatible
3. The images will not print out on printouts unless the client option to print background images is selected (this is bad for logos and menus, etc)
4. For images in pages (that are not actually background images), it seems semantically bad to hide the image in CSS.

3 ways to do the css sprites.
1. background-image
2. image-map
3. image tab with rect.
