A review of the source files shows the footer information ahead of the
"content" information on the home page. For user agents which do not support
CSS, they will render the text in the linear fashion it is constucted in.
Using the DIV IDs in the code, you present in this order:
<div id="header"...>
<div id="navigation1"...>
<div id="footer"...>
and then finally,
<div id="bookimage1"...> and
<div id="title"...>, <div id="text1"...>
So that's how a non-CSS application will interpret the information. You
must use care that you do not confuse positioning with ordering,
structure(logic) vs. display.
As for how to fix it in Dreamweaver? (Use HomeSite <grin>). Crack open the
code (view code) and re-order it properly.
