Hi, I need to hide some text without using

display:none;

I tried using a

text-indent:1000px;

but that didn't really work.

does anyone know another way to hide text?

thanks

You can hide it with visibility: hidden, though it will still take up the space it takes when visible.
Or try making it a block element and then use text-indent:-9999px;

Why can't you use display: none?

I'm also curious about why you can't use display: none.

Instead of the text-indent I usually use relative positioning and the -9999px

It's a long story. Take a look at this in IE. http://tinyurl.com/yeg8px it's a long explanation, but basically, the entire links disappear if I do that.

I am going to fill the boxes with icons and get rid of the littl "-" in there using these techniques. If I don't have any text, they don't appear in safari or IE, hence the "-", but I don't want it to show up. I hope that made sense.

Relative positioning isn't an option, because they are already positioned I think.

sweet. I got it to work just using the

visibility:hidden;

thanks a ton
