Selection of text inside div is shown outside the div

I want the user to select text (html) inside a div. However doing that will show the selection background in the browser also outside the div.

I can prevent that with (see http://jsfiddle.net/lborgman/aWbgT/)

div { overflow: hidden; }

Is that the way to do it? Or, is there a better way?

There is a typo in the CSS property :

xoverflow: hidden;

instead of 

overflow-x: hidden;
