perfectly safe, no scrollbars, and indeed you don't even need the <span> element. just set the text-indent on the a, and the text will be offscreen, with the background image still in place.
That's nice, however ...
I've never gotten that technique to work properly in Opera. It always either a) makes scrollbars b) displays some of the text despite insane negative text-indent values...
... I'm quite afraid of that :(
Add top:-1000px; left:-1000px; and you'll be bullet proof ;)
No scrollbar problems here?
Actually... Why the hell do we need to do this? :( Screen readers should only stick with the aural styles and not the screen ones (not ignoring elements, that are not to be displayed) so only display: none in screen style would do the work :'( ...
