I thought of a way to build sidenotes in well-supported and valid
CSS. I posted details on my log:
<http://hartshorne.ca/2005/07/27/footnotes_v_sidenotes/>
Basically, I'm using absolute positioning to take a <span> (or a
<small>) out of flow, and to move it outside of some containing block
where it can read as a sidenote. I'd appreciate feedback on the
technique, and to know if anyone has any trouble with it in any browser.
At Quirks Mode <http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2005/07/
footnotes_on_th.html>, Jacob suggested using an inline-block to split
up paragraphs within sidenotes. I don't know what the best structural
or semantic way to do this would be, and would appreciate any
suggestions.
Regards,
Beau
