Replacing the -9999px Hack (New Image Replacement)

Mike McCarron reblogs Zeldman:

.hide-text {
    text-indent: 100%;
    white-space: nowrap;
    overflow: hidden;
}

I first wrote about this technique in 2009, and had been using it at least a year before that. Because I realized the web should always be future friendly. If you find the better way, start doing it right away.
