Thanks, I used your first method successfully on a project, but it failed on a different project in IE7 for some unknown reason.

2nd option did the trick though!

@R I had the same problem on a project, I think it was because of other things being absolutely/or relatively positioned on the page before the button. I am not sure though, IE is sometimes a quandary with it’s screw ups.

Try this as an alternate, that’s what I had to do on a project:

==================

line-height: 999px; /* Set it higher than your image height */
overflow: hidden; /* Hide the text */
font-size: 0; /* FF2 doesn’t like the above */

==================

this seems to work for me in IE7, which is great, but not in IE6… any ideas?

Just had to swing by and say THANKS! Your suggestion plu:

line-height: 999px; /* Set it higher than your image height */
overflow: hidden; /* Hide the text */
font-size: 0; /* FF2 doesn’t like the above */

did the trick.
