@Kelly
The advantage of this method vs the -9999px method is that with my method the text is actually UNDER the image vs off the page. The primary advantage here is for when the user has images off (think mobile or slow net connection) then the user can see the text underneath, vs seeing nothing at all. Check out Example 3 and disable images on your browser.

But what are the disadvantages of using a technique that works?

Also, what about the old text offset of -9999px? Where does that not work?

Jesse. You are the first person to explain a complex CSS concept (which I find this to be = “complex”) in a way that I quickly understand it!!! That graphic you made above with the LJ Host logo and the layers like that, to show the concept that we were shooting for in practice? – perfect. Literally, I looked at that, and it clicked.

You so have a gift … keep it up!! And thank you for ’splaining things in a way that I understand.
