Content before header

fredski · #1 (**permalink**) Nov 10th, 2005, 08:40

Hi,
Im new to CSS but I'd like to create a page where the search engines see my page content before the header, but the person viewing the page will see the header above the page content. When I say header I don't mean my meta tags info, I mean my logo and menu that are in the cell above my content and left column.
I have sorted one problem I had with my left column displayed to the search engine before the main content by adding a 0 Height cell to the top of the left column so the first cell with any content in that the search engine comes to is my main content.
Id like to do something with my header and I'm led to believe that CSS is the way to go.
Can anyone give me some pointers to how to set it up?
Any help would be much appreciated.

CSS is what you need. You can put the logo/navigation section after your content section in the HTML code if you specify it's location with CSS.

For example:

Here's an example of the CSS you could use:

#logonav {
position: absolute;
top: 10px;
}

#content {
position: absolute;
top: 150px;
}

Then you'd place your HTML like this

<body>
<div id="content">blahblahblahblahblahblahblahcontentco ntentcontent</div>
<div id="logonav">this is my logo / navigation section</div>
</body>

Why do you need it to be like this?
