Try as an experiment putting in the HTML version of the document a tag such as blah blah blah <note1> blah blah and in your header a link to an external style sheet (CSS2) In that external style sheet, put something like note1 {   content:after "Your comment here"; } or perhaps   content: url(note1.html);

so, you want the user to edit an .html file at the insertion point of every annotation, and then edit the .css file appropriately... i'll let the original poster tell us whether that is something he feels is reasonable or not...

Of course, this will only work in a CSS2 compliant browser, so for now that's everybody except IE.

or, to put it another way, 1 out of 8 people. *** scott said:

I don't have time to debate Bowerbird on these points,

i asked some fairly simple questions. there is no "debate". all you have to do is answer the fairly simple questions...

If the original poster decides to use Frontier and whatever techie they find gets stuck, I'll be happy to help them out.

so even a "techie" might "get stuck" doing this? well, ok. but your offer to help them out is certainly generous...

I have done this kind of work, have automated it, am in business, and have and do charge for it.

great! can you point us to your for-a-fee solution? i would be interested in pricing it. do you have a cost-free demo? i'd like to see the profit-margin on "a few simple scripts". -bowerbird
