HTML text on layers with search engines

can search engines read HTML text when in a layer?

I have created a web page and have a layer of text in a certain size box so the user has to scroll to read the text but I have to find out if there is an issue that the text might not be read by search engines?

To clarify the text is normal HTML text using a style sheet.

Does anyone know if this is true or can they point me in the right direction of how to find out?

Thank you :-)

You should be fine when it comes to search engines. They just read the code of the page and don't 'see' how the page looks.

Thanks BlobFisk

I was sure that search engines just read a code of page from top to bottom but I wasn't sure if the code for the layer might make the search engine miss the text.

Thanks for putting my mind at rest :-)
