I found a cool way to iterate through a list and apply some styles, in this case with a bunch of social network icons! The sprite in question is a vertical one. If it was a grid, a matrix may be necessary to iterate in two dimensions. This all assumes all icons have uniform dimensions.
// Setting Networks in sprite order from top to bottom
$networks: youtube, blogger, dribbble, email, facebook, twitter;
// Setting background sprite (separated for readability)
.social-icons li a { background: url(icon-sprite.png) no-repeat 0 0; }
// Iterating and multiplying!
.social-icons {
li {
// Set the icon height

Here's a way to create a white diagonal line on a black background using pseudo elements and css triangles. It works on all modern browsers, and IE8.
// Diagonal Lines
.some-element {
background: black;
position: relative;
&:before,
&:after {
border-top: 40px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 40px solid transparent;
content: "";
display: block;
