Sorry a little late to the post, but was looking for a solution to the IE7 issue with negative text-indent. I started trying my own random ways and stumbled upon this. jUst wanted to post it out on Stack in case it may help others.

Trying to add an icon to a link and not show the text.

My CSS for all browsers

a.lnk_locked , a.lnk_notchecked, a.lnk_checked
{ background: url(../images/icons/icon_sprites.png) no-repeat; padding: 0 2px 0 0;   width:18px; height:18px; 
       vertical-align:middle; text-indent:-9009px; display:inline-block; overflow: hidden; zoom: 1; *display:inline;}
    a.lnk_locked    { background-position: -1px -217px; }

My CSS just for IE7

a.lnk_locked , a.lnk_notchecked, a.lnk_checked
{  text-indent:20px; padding-left:-20px; width:18px;}
