CSS Sprites for Fluid Grid System

Question

Is there a way to use sprites without using the

background: url();

property?

For example, is there a way to use sprites with

<img>

tags instead?

The reason I ask is because I am trying to use CSS sprites in a fluid grid system and I need to be able to control the max-width of the image.

So you're wondering if you can crop an image various times in different spots? Yes it is possible. Here are a few posts explaining these techniques:
