>Is this serious? Are <FOOTNOTE> and <MARGIN> *really* proposed for HTML? >What are all those hyperlinks for then? <FOOTNOTE> and <MARGIN> are part of the HTML+ spec, and are actually pretty nifty. All the HTML inside the footnote or margin note gets stashed away by the browser and a footnote marker (e.g. [*]) that looks like an anchor put in its place. When the user clicks on the footnote marker, the contents of the footnote or margin note get displayed in a pop-up window. I've got these working just fine, and it's pretty cool. Saves having links to all those tiny files, and allows the note to be viewed at the same time as the context to which it applies. Michael Johnson Relay Technology, Inc.
