Sounds like a job for the DOM and Javascript, not CSS.

[css-d] out of place but floating?

2005-06-27 Thread Faisal N. Jawdat
I'm trying to figure out if it's at all possible to accomplish  
something, so I figured I'd bounce it out there for general consumption.


I'd like to be able to put footnotes in-stream but have them show up  
at the end of a stream.


For example (bogus pseudo-code, doesn't actually work, for  
illustrated purposes only, do not try this at home):



Some text.

footnote

More text.


Should show up like:

Some text.

More text.

footnote

I can't figure out a way to do this without using absolute  
positioning, which takes this out of the realm of structured markup.
