Hi, I have read about it some more and after evaluating the possibilities I have changed display: none to absolutely positioning the elements far off the page, like left: -1px. This works the same and is the safer way.

[css-d] display: none and Google
Hi, if I use a span inside a headline to substitute a .png image with text in IE5.5 which is set to display: none, does this effect Google or general search engine indexing in a negative way? It usually looks like: h2img src=images/img.png alt=one or two words width=170 height=18 /spanone or two words/span/h2 Thanks, Holger __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
