Another way[1] is to have the footnote immediately below the paragraph ini which it appears. This isn't so bad in practice and the most likely course of action (you want to read it immediately afterwards) is well served. I think you can also include the footnote as a tool tip or similiar so it appears on a mouseOver. Paul [1] I believe O'Reilly use this scheme in their HTML books.
