Hiding via CSS

Posted on May, 16 2008 at 08 PM

I am in the middle of some research for my Graphic Web Design course and I am in search of an article I thought I had read a while ago.

If I am remembering correctly, it outlined the pros and cons of using the two typical methods of hiding content using CSS styles.

Option #1:

selector { display:none; }

Option #2:

selector { text-indent: -9999px; }

The second is a little trick I first saw Zeldman use, but I know the article I am thinking of talked about how it can cause problems when using a right-aligned layout (which I have experienced first-hand), but I can’t seem to find it again.

Anyone else know how to use Google search better than me? ;)
