Hello there,

Here is the link to the BIR example

Regarding Image Replacement techniques, here are resources for checking the
pros and the cons of various methods
<http://www.mezzoblue.com/tests/revised-image-replacement/>

An addition to the list of used techniques (many others as well)
<http://www.stuffandnonsense.co.uk/archives/mir_image_replacement.html>

Basically, there are some accesibility problems with all these methods under
certain conditions:
* screenreader access
* CSS on / Images off scenarios
* Screen magnifier users

Discussions on the subject can be found at:

I personnaly try to avoid such techniques as much as possible untill CSS3's
generated content module is widely supported

{
  content:url(image.gif);
}

Sfir can also be an option if you just need fancy text/fonts

The most accessible solution I know of:

Hi folks,

A colleague has pointed me to another image replacement technique by the
name of BIR (Bob's Image Replacement)
Has anyone used this technique much?
