Hi all,

I'm fighting through the wads of info (and opinions) out there about CSS image 
replacement.

I'm concerned that using CSS like:
text-indent: -9000px;
may get our site penalised by search engines.

Feeling overly pragmatic, I added the following to a page in development:

<h1><img src="/move/images/hp-overview.gif" alt="Overview"/></h1>

It works (shows just the image, as expected) in Opera 9, IE 6, IE 7, and 
firefox 1.5. With styles on and images off, the header style rules are applied 
(to the ALT text) as normal, with a small 'missing image' border applied in 
Opera.

I can live with this, as the content is still accessible.

Question is, what am I missing? Is it ok to do this, or is there some horrible 
hidden issue I'm not aware of?

Paul
