[help]php Or Css?

hey,

i have noticed that some sites like the aqua-soft home page and the apple tiger page http://www.apple.com/macosx/tiger/voiceover.html dont have jpegs or bitmaps on them. its like the webpage is holding all the pictures into one. is that CSS or PhP? if so how can one view the actuall images and emulate the kind of cool effects as seen on the tiger page?

thanks,

Pops

they use css. basically no img tags. they are all bgs of tables or divs

What a load of tripe.

I can find a whole heap of img tags in the source.

popsandthefamily - they do have images on them, but they also use CSS to add other imagery, depending on the type of imagery.

For anything I work on, I try to follow this simple rule: if it's part of the page's content, use an img tag; if it's part of the page's design, use CSS.

well i am using the apple tiger pages as a guide to using css and understanding it. see i cant select a picture on the tiger page (such as spotlight) and save as, there is no option too. but how can there be a picture? and how do they use rollover effects if there are no pictures?

edit: ifthey are embeded in css, how do you get at the picturee itself?

it seems as when you rollover the new color bg just covers the old bg...so its not to do with the image... and how can you right click save it if you get the rollover bg when you go over it...
