Footnotes

I have been wondering how best to deal with footnotes for some while.

In the last post I included two, so I decided to include a fairly boring post on how I have decided to do so.

basically I shall be using a combination of superscripting, anchor links and mouseover boxes.

The superscript can be achieved easily using the SUP code, the anchor link is something I have always been able to do using A NAME, and the for the mouseover I am using the ABBR tags, because that is sufficient for my purposes. I will only include short example text, if I wanted something more impressive I could always use some javascript solution, such as that offered by overLIB.

The end point is going to look like this.¹

The code looks like this: (But less spaced out, obviously)

<small>
^{<abbr title = "Woot! Example Squeee">
<a href="#1">
1
</a>
</abbr>}
</small>
---
<a name="1">
1</a> Loooonger more detailed example squeee.
