LIR

By now most everyone’s heard of the FIR technique for replacing plain text with images using CSS. Stuart Langridge has come up with a (better?) solution that doesn’t require extra tags, which I presume from the URL is to be referred to as LIR. It doesn’t seem to have garnered much attention to date, so I’m going to do my small part to make it better-known. I’m in the midst of my Sirens website redesign and didn’t relish the thought of having to go back to add <span/>s everywhere, so Stuart’s idea appeared at just the right time.
