Hi,
I've got a question regarding the z-index property: Why can I still see
elements which I've put *behind* the BODY element (see example below)?
Alright, I know this is just a hypothetical question and I would never use
this technique to hide elements, but according to the CSS2 specification it
should be possible to hide elements by putting them behind a coloured BODY
element in the z-order (if I haven't just missed a paragraph dealing with
this in the specification :) ).
Best regards - Axel Dahmen

<HEAD><TITLE>Text Behind Body?</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY STYLE="z-index: 0; background-color: #456789;">
<P STYLE="z-index: -1; color: #fedcba;">This is a test showing a text that
shouldn't be visible as it lies behind the body element <EM>("z-index"
property equals "-1").</EM>
</BODY>
