只在必要的时候使用背景图像，例如容器的图像是平铺的。

其中一个主要的优点是使用图像是更好的搜索引擎优化。

当我想让它们100%可拉伸时，我使用image而不是background-image，大多数浏览器都支持。

我想再补充两个论点:

An img tag is good if you need to resize the image. E.g. if the original image is 100px by 100 px, and you want it to be 80px by 80px, you can set the CSS width and height of the img tag. I don't know of any good way to do this using background-image. EDIT: This can now also be done with a background-image, using the background-size CSS3 attribute. Using background-image is good when you need to dynamically switch between sprites. E.g. if you have a button image, and you want a separate image displayed when the cursor is hovering over the element, you can use a background image containing both the normal and hover sprites, and dynamically change the background-position.

One more benefit from using the <IMG> tag is related to SEO - i.e. you can provide additional information about the image in the ALT attribute of the image tag, while there's no way to provide such information when specifying the image through CSS and in that case only the image file name may be indexed by search engines. The ALT attribute definitely gives the <IMG> tag SEO advantage over the CSS approach. That's why according to me it is better to specify the images you want to rank well in the image search results (e.g. Google Image Search) using the <IMG> tag.

我很惊讶没有人提到这个:CSS过渡。

你可以本地转换一个div的背景图像:

#some_div {
    background-image:url(image_1.jpg);
    -webkit-transition:background-image 0.5s;
    /* Other vendor-prefixed transition properties */
    transition:background-image 0.5s;
}

#some_div:hover {
    background-image:url(image_2.jpg);
}

这将保存任何类型的JavaScript或jQuery动画来淡化<img/>的src。
