Hello,

I'm got a problem with pages in my site that have a  floating sidebox.  They 
LOOK fine, but they are not accessible in terms of a semantic document outline. 
 The problem is that the headings I have given my sidebar box aren't correct in 
terms of their position in my document flow (the code).   So my goal is to put 
in a semantically correct headline, but have the sidebar appear in the document 
flow in a correct location for the context of the content.  For instance, on 
this page (http://checkoutacollege.com/GetStarted/HSCompletion.aspx  ) I would 
like to make the sidebar heading an <h2>, keep it where it is positioned 
visually,  but  have it located in the document flow (the code) right after the 
"What About State Testing" section.  This is where, if the user was using a 
screen reader, or had turned off CSS, I would want them to encounter the 
content.

If anyone could tell me some general principles about that sort of thing I'd 
appreciate it.  Or refer me to some web sites.  I did a Google search, but I 
don't think my search keywords were on track.

I tried moving the content in the source code to where I want it, then 
absolutely positioning the sidebar box up where I want it, but that just 
layered the text blocks.  I'm hoping this won't require major restructuring of 
the page layout, but I'm afraid it might.  I do want to keep the main content 
"reaching" under the sidebar box.

Thank you,
