iRGA: Image Replacement Gone Apeshit

(Behold the clever lower-case i.)

iRGA is a new technique I’m thinking about pushing on all the floofy web design sites. You know—just like all good heroes should have theme music, all good web techniques should have a catchy acronym¹. Errr-Gah. Or maybe Ear-Gay. Marketing is still kickin’ it around.

Anyway—on to the thing.

This technique borrows completely from Malarkey’s Image Replacement Method (or MIR, see #1). In fact, it is the exact same method, [stolen] verbatim if you will, but used so extensively and in so many different imported, linked and inline style rules that it causes [through the magic of spaghetti CSS] [almost] all known browsers to forego any attempt at screwing up the design. I call this effect The cascade of last resort. I reckon that it's quite similar in notion to sympathy sex.

Ahh, but enough words. I know what you want. You want pictures. What follows is the first known successful implementation of iRGA:

39 images, 3 imported stylesheets, text-indentation to exceed -4999px, and a whole lotta lurve. Okay, so maybe the silly Swede still doesn’t get the joke, but I’m working on him.
