A new script is available @ CSSnewbie which can help you in writing footnotes for your HTML pages.

The Problem:

* Many websites could benefit from having footnotes, but…
* Manually creating footnotes for web documents is a slow process.

The Requirements:

* Creating the footnotes should be as painless as possible (i.e., make use of as many standard tags/attributes as possible).
* Users should be able to create footnotes that are pure commentary, book citation, web reference, or any combination thereof.

The Solution:

I decided to make use of the two most common XHTML tags that might need footnote information: blockquotes and quotations (). Both of those tags can take the “cite” attribute, whose value is the URL from which the quoted material originated.
