How can I hide the div without using display:none or JavaScript?

In my country, a lot of Blackberrys come with the CSS support disabled (the mobile companies here are not so good to developers). I have text that says

<div class="BBwarn">
please activate your css support and a link
</div>

I want to hide that once the user activates CSS support, but i can't use display:none; because it is only supported in BB firmware 4.6. It is a public site and I can't make all my visitors upgrade.

Does anybody knows a solution to this? I hope the question is easier to understand now.

Update: Thank you all for the answers but I can't use

  • position:absolute
  • overflow

because they are available from Blackberry firmware 4.6 and up
