Popup Text Layer CSS

[LindyJo]

I have attached a test file and a jpeg screenshot of results.

Issue is

I need to get text onto my page using a popup layer, but no matter what colour I make the text or the layer, search engines are seeing it as the same colour as my background and I will be penalized for this.

Could someone please enlighten me as to how XXP uses the css file with regard to the text colour on a popup layer?

I have made the layer RED and the text BLUE to exaggerate my point!

Assistance would be MOST appreciated
