hiding text using “text-indent”

Question

I\'m trying to hide some text inside an

element using CSS by setting text-indent: -999px;.
For some reason this doesn\'t work when I set

Answer 1

I found the best way is to make the text a transparent color:

color: rgba(0,0,0,0);

Note: This bug still exists in firefox 12 (text-indent value is ignored on rtl)
