Hi
For the learner here, is it possible to point me to an article that would help me understand why you would use -1000px? Or maybe someone on the list could explain? Jan why would use it?

I'm just curious about using -999em for some text hiding or off-screen positioning -- isn't it a bit rought for the browser to "count" similar "distances" from the viewport? Especially on some old
and slow machines?
The weak point is 'ems' and *how* you position off screen. Ems has to be recalculated to px, and there are plenty of web pages around that are not even trying to stay within reasonable values.
Use 'px' off screen, and stay within -1000px left for 'text-indent' and within -10000px for absolute positioning. That's safe and doesn't slow down any browser that I've had the chance to test on.
Thanks for the heads up.
