A Question About <DIV>

[tchallies]

I have a client who has several fields, each of which is contained in a DIV. The DIV tags provide the exact position the information appears in.

For example:

DIV1 (product price) - 250 from the top and 120 from the left
DIV2 (product description) - 350 from the top and 120 from the left

etc

The client wants DIV2 to appear first to the search engines when they spider the page. Since each of the DIVs is positioned absolutely, if I move DIV2 ahead of DIV1 in the code, will that make the search engines pick up the content of DIV2 first?

The search engines are just looking at the html file. So if the text of div2 comes before div1 in the file, that's what the SE sees.

agreed.
you have to remember that a spider isnt like a user .. its doesnt SEE, it FEELS.
so changing the display of your page wont affect a thing, changing its position on the html file - thats what makes the difference.
