Thanks for your input! Of course I trigger the Standard Mode. And next
time I gonna put such questions into c.i.w.a.stylesheets.
My use-case (test use case, but not real life use case) was to make a
text which comes out of a div into another div visible. Ben's solution
to change the z-index of the text worked fine. (Your mentioned solution
to leave away the background color would work too.)
