No, that was what I was trying to do without any success.  I'm thinking
that some variation of the following might work, though:

<.div id = "top">
  <.div id = "mainContent">main content </.div>
  <.div id = "topNav">navigation, site info, copyright, etc</.div>
</div> <!-- end top div>
<.div id = "bottom">text navigation</.div>

The important distinction is that I've been thinking of the navigation
bar from the user's point of view, so that the bottom text nav was, in 
my mind, stuck in a </div> with the top nav.  If I think horizontally
instead, this seems as though it will work.

Well, "directly across from" is not particularly important.  But "no higher
than" is what I am aiming for.  I could do this relatively easily if I knew
for certain that the main content was going to be taller than the nav bar,
or the reverse.

In any case, as soon as my job stops getting in the way of more interesting
work, I think I know how to work this out...

Thanks for your help.
