Text indent is not working in ie7

Question

I am working on a website and on the top navigation bar there is a search box, I applied the following css on the search submit button

#submit {
   background:          


        

Answer 1

The solution that I found to my text-indent woes in IE7, and something that I feel should be added to this thread is the following:

Doesn't work:

text-indent: -900009px;

Does work:

text-indent: -9999px;

I didn't know there was a limit? I guess there is.
