Sprite not working in IE7

[csswizardry]

I’ve had reports of the sprite not working in IE7, and it’s (unfortunately) down to the text-indent:100%; used in the Kellum method.

I’m probably gonna move this from the Kellum method to the H5BP method that @necolas writes about here.

That "font crushing" method is a little problematic too. I changed the HTML5 Boilerplate method again for the 4.0.0 release (haven't got around to documenting it), so you might want to have a look at that too. Basically just falls back to negative text indent in IE 6/7.

Cool, thanks! What was the IE6/7 issue with the font crushing method, out of interest…?

[necolas]

It left a faint trace of tiny text. But the main reason I changed it was due to issues in the Android browser. There are some links to other issues in 1149 that you can check out.

Awesome, cheers man!

Updated the code to use the H5BP method. Please report any oddities you may find!
