Abstract: Systems and methods for transferring, processing and displaying multiple images using a single transfer request such as a Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) transfer request are disclosed. The method may generally include requesting a document, e.g., an HTML document, that references a composite image containing multiple image portions, splitting the composite image into the multiple image portions, determining a layout of the image portions in a client browser, e.g., a web page browser, and laying out the image portions in the client browser according to the determined layout. The splitting of the composite image into the multiple image portions may utilize Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), e.g., using a CSS clip function for each image portion, and may use absolute positioning of the image portions within the composite image. The determining the layout and the laying out of the multiple image portions may be implemented utilizing JavaScript.
