You would have needed the round-trip network request anyway to get the new images, no? The lack of Firefox support isn't a big deal because this is a progressive enhancement. Firefox users will still be able to switch icon sizes; they just won't see the fancy transition. | ||

It'd be a shared round trip request for all images (so long as you aren't still using HTTP/1.1) in the 1st example vs a request for the immediate images and then a separate page load. Both have their upsides/downsides depending on the rest of the page and how users usually use it. | ||

The images will always need a network request, but the non-JS version requires another request for the new HTML source. And with the previous implementation, all users would get the progressive enhancement, not just non-Firefox users. | ||
