Well, methinks a JavaScript routine would suffice. Google on "Joe Burns"
+JavaScript, then post a query over there. Most likely someone can point
you to an existing script you can dump into your HTML page(s). My
experience has been that's it a very responsive website/forum, and I
LOVE Joe's teaching style put forth in his books.

Subject: Annotating HTML files or PDF docs
Does anyone know of a way to annotate an HTML file so that when the
reader mouses over designated spots in a browser window something
akin to virtual stickies appear? I'm thinking of what can be done in
an Excel spreadsheet or what I see when I mouse over a linked
headline on my.yahoo.com.
How about in a PDF?
Apologies if this issue has been discussed elsewhere on the list.
