title: css sprite as background, limited portion?
body: <p>I need to place an icon of 48x48 as background. I have this icon in my image sprite where of course there are many other images.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to show as background only a porition of the image?</p>
  
  <p>thanks</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: Is there a way to do this without setting width-height of the backgrounded element? (I am not sure if acutally i can set a width-height) </p>
