How to hide the facebook Like count

What I do, is put a div on top of the like count which is absolutely positioned

The css

.facebook_like{
position: relative;
float:left;
} 

.facebook_like_hide_count{
width: 50px;
height: 20px;
background: white;
position: absolute;
left: 50px;
top: 0;
}

 The HTML

<div class="facebook_like">                        
     <fb:like href="http://yoururl.com/" send="false" layout="button_count" width="20" show_faces="true" font=""></fb:like>
     <div class="facebook_like_hide_count"> </div>
</div>
