CSS hide text

-9999PX
So popular was this method, we made a tee shirt out of it, and it sold, baby, it sold.
 
But despite its enduring popularity, Phark has drawbacks of its own: chiefly, a performance hit caused by the need to draw a giant 9999px box offscreen. (Yes, the browser really does this.)
 
My friend Scott Kellum, design director at Treesaver, has now sent me this refactored code for hiding text, which I hereby christen the Kellum Method:
 
 
.hide-text {
text-indent: 100%;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
}
