If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

Grunt PostCSS

grunt.initConfig({
  postcss: {
    options: {
      processors: [
        require('postcss-sprites-css')({
			spriteDir: '/public/images/sprite',
			outputFile: '/public/css/sprites.css'
		})
      ]
    },
    dist: { src: 'build/*.css' }
  },
});

	display: inline-block;
	vertical-align: middle;
	*vertical-align: auto;
	zoom: 1;
	*display: inline;
}
.icon-alert-dialog-modal{
	background-image: resolve("alert-dialog-modal.png");
	width:17px;
	height:26px;

}
