From what I understand the content is read as it is written in the HTML. So what you need to do is add each layer in Dreamweaver in the order it should be read and then position it where you want it displayed.

Hope that made some sense and was of help.

Hi,

Glasshauss (www.glasshaus.com) are publishers of a terrific book on web
accessibility. Their new site has some problems. They have been informed of
those problems and will attend to them, I hope.

There is one problem for which I need some advice. The pages use CSS to
position text elements on the page, and the information is not spoken in the
correct sequence. The developer responded to me that the positioning is
imposed by Dreamweaver. Question: is there any way to insure that the
content entered with dreamweaver will be linearized (spoken) in the same way
that it appears on the display?

You can edit the HTML in Dreamweaver (or any editor) after the layers are
created and reorder the DIVs to allow AT to read in a logical order. In
fact, you should always do that. Of course, this requires some knowledge of
HTML.

I do not know of any other way to reorder the DIVs in Dreamweaver, though
that could be a useful enhancement.
