I was going to use text-indent and "overflow: hidden" to hide the
content, but then I realized that browser with only CSS 1 support would
look kinda strange. I may just have to settle for that, though. It
actually works well in IE6, Firefox and Opera 8. I didn't use a negative
value, though:
| text-index: [value greater than width];
| overflow: hidden;
I like the negative value idea. It allows for the content to be
forced off the page in CSS1 browsers. It's still feels like a dirty
hack, though. I may go back to just using <span> elements with "display:
none"...

I'd actually tried something similar ("color: rgba(0,0,0,0);"), but
it didn't work in IE, Firefox or Opera. The same is true for the
"transparent" keyword. I know I have the CSS right because "color: red;"
works fine.
