Re: Using the Clip CSS property to visually hide text

I'm using the same versions as well. I have tested the classes we mentioned
earlier with overflow:hidden, and I'm seeing all of the content as before.

I use the same technique within AccDC which includes overflow:hidden, and
have tested this in JAWS 11 through 14 using IE8-9 and Firefox and Chrome,
plus NVDA using IE8-9 and Firefox and Chrome, and using Voiceover in iOS
Safari with equal success.

If removing overflow:hidden causes an issue to occur, doesn't this suggests
that it should not be removed?

NVDA latest and Firefox (all versions I had), and JAWS 13 with Firefox 16.
Others were fine with overflow there, but like I said, they were also
totally fine if I removed overflow. I could find no problems with removing
the overflow declaration save for the WebKit partially-hidden-link focus
outline issue I described.
