I am trying to use Google Material Icons Sprite.. the CSS they are providing is something like this

.icon {
  background-image: url(../images/sprite-alert-white.PNG);
}
.icon-ic_add_alert_white_24dp {
  background-position: -0px -0px;
  width: 32px;
  height: 32px;
}
.icon-ic_error_outline_white_24dp {
  background-position: -32px -0px;
  width: 32px;
  height: 32px;
}
.icon-ic_error_white_24dp {
  background-position: -0px -32px;
  width: 32px;
  height: 32px;
}
.icon-ic_warning_white_24dp {
  background-position: -32px -32px;
  width: 32px;
  height: 32px;
}
.icon {
  background-image: url(../images/sprite-alert-black.PNG);
}
.icon-ic_add_alert_black_24dp {
  background-position: -0px -0px;
  width: 32px;
  height: 32px;
}
.icon-ic_error_black_24dp {
  background-position: -32px -0px;
  width: 32px;
  height: 32px;
}
.icon-ic_error_outline_black_24dp {
  background-position: -0px -32px;
  width: 32px;
  height: 32px;
}
.icon-ic_warning_black_24dp {
  background-position: -32px -32px;
  width: 32px;
  height: 32px;
}
.icon {
  background-image: url(../images/sprite-toggle-white.PNG);
}
.icon-ic_check_box_outline_blank_white_24dp {
  background-position: -0px -0px;
  width: 32px;
  height: 32px;
}
.icon-ic_check_box_white_24dp {
  background-position: -32px -0px;
  width: 32px;
  height: 32px;
}
.icon-ic_indeterminate_check_box_white_24dp {
  background-position: -0px -32px;
  width: 32px;
  height: 32px;
}
.icon-ic_radio_button_checked_white_24dp {
  background-position: -32px -32px;
  width: 32px;
  height: 32px;
}
.icon-ic_radio_button_unchecked_white_24dp {
  background-position: -64px -0px;
  width: 32px;
  height: 32px;
}
.icon-ic_star_border_white_24dp {
  background-position: -64px -32px;
  width: 32px;
  height: 32px;
}
.icon-ic_star_half_white_24dp {
  background-position: -0px -64px;
  width: 32px;
  height: 32px;
}
.icon-ic_star_white_24dp {
  background-position: -32px -64px;
  width: 32px;
  height: 32px;
}
.icon {
  background-image: url(../images/sprite-toggle-black.PNG);
}

The confusion is when i am trying to use 

<div class="icon icon-ic_add_alert_white_24dp"></div>

It works Awesome... but when i put this...

 <div class="icon icon-ic_add_alert_black_24dp"></div>

it doesn't work ... i think because the .icon is set multiple times and it takes either first or last value of .icon depending upon the browser..

.icon { background-image: ---------

but its Google they must have validated their CSS, Can you guide how it should work , i am new to Sprites...

  • the issue is very simple, google's CSS is using .icon { background-image: url (); more than two times in a single file with different URLS ...so i am not able to get all the icons . :(

  • For questions asking "why isn't my code working" you must provide a complete working reproduction of the problem in your question. AKA we need at least enough of your HTML and your CSS to reproduce this problem ourselves.
