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.

只是一个小的添加，你应该使用img标签，如果你想让用户能够“右键单击”和“save-image”/“save-picture”，所以如果你打算将图像作为资源提供给其他人。

使用背景图像将(据我所知在大多数浏览器上)禁用直接保存图像的选项。

还有一个原因!如果你有一个响应式的设计，并且想通过媒体查询来划分低分辨率、中分辨率和高分辨率图像的使用，那么你也应该使用背景。

对我来说，这是个非黑即白的决定。如果图像是内容的一部分，如logo、图表或人物(真实人物，而不是库存照片人物)，则使用<img />标记加上alt属性。其他的都有CSS背景图片。

另一个使用CSS背景图像的时间是在做文本的图像替换时。段落/头。

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。
