Problem with footnotes

Greetings All,

I am new to Sigil and am having a problem getting footnotes to work properly. I produce my books first in LaTeX and have been able to convert them to xhtml using latexml and latexmlport. When I bring up the xhtml documents in a browser the footnotes work in the sense that when the mouse is over them the footnote text displays. That is what I would like to happen. But when I open that same xhtml in Sigil, the superscript footnote numbers are there, but the footnote text simply follows them as if it was part of the main text. I've fiddled a little with the html codes for the footnotes but nothing seems to make a difference. Here is how the footnotes appear in the html:

<span class="note footnote"><sup class="mark">2</sup></span>
<div class="note_content">
<span class="note footnote">Śrī Caitanya</span>
</div>

And here is what the CSS file has for footnotes:

/*================================================= =====================
pop-up footnotes */
.note .note_content {display:none; }
.note .mark { color:blue; }
.note:hover .note_content
{ display:block; position:absolute; z-index:10;
width: 70%; right:5%;
background:#E0E0E0;
border:3px outset gray; }

Any suggestions?

Best,

Neal
