Lessons Learned Concerning the Clearfix CSS Hack • Perishable Press

Fix for inline-block/text-indent image replacement in IE7
IE7 indents the whole inline-block box, meaning your replacement disappears. `text-indent: 0; font-size: 0; line-height: 0;` causes the text to be invisible in IE7, meaning you don't need an indent. Using the `zoom:1;display:inline` hack also seems to fix the issue.
