beenhero/world-flags-sprite

A sprite of all the worlds' flags

The flags of all countries in the world in one sprite

Include 1 css file and have all the worlds’ flags on your site. Tell everyone who uses a lot of country flags to use this link, so it will be in everyone’s cache!

Example usage:

In the head of your html file:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://github.com/lafeber/world-flags-sprite/raw/master/stylesheets/flags32.css" />

In the body of your html file:

<ul class="f32">
  <li class="flag ar">Argentina</li>
  <li class="flag au">Australia</li>
  <li class="flag at">Austria</li>
...
</ul>

The countries corresponding to the codes can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2

If a previously visited site uses this same code, the file is already in the cache of the user and doesn’t need to be downloaded again.
NB: It won’t work in https environments. You can download the css files and include them locally instead.

See the cheese wiki for an example
