Thanks for pointing that out, Jellby; the footnote CSS then becomes pretty similar to what I started with. The W3C validator still accepts it:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
<style type="text/css">
span.footnote {
display:inline;
border-style:solid;
border-width:1px;
background:yellow;
width: 0.6em;
height:0.6em;
overflow:hidden;
position:fixed;
}
span.footnote:active {width:auto;height:auto;}
span.footnote span{
display:block;
font-size:0.5em;
margin:0 0.2em;
}
span.footnote span+span{ font-size:0.9em;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p class="footnote">Sic transit gloria mundi.Click on this footnote.<span class="footnote">
<span>1</span>
<span>Isn't it fun reading through all the footnotes?</span>
</span>
Pretaerae censeo Cartago esse delendam. Navigare necesse est, vivere non est necesse.</p>
<p>Credo Elvem ipsum etiam vivere.</p>
</body>
</html>
(Span, span, lovely span ...)
