Description Mike.lifeguard 2008-10-26 20:59:59 UTC Upon rollover, the reference would display as a tooltip (formatted still though, so probably would need js?) This would be in addition to jumping to the footnote upon click. Comment 1 Nicholas Wilson 2008-12-31 22:33:41 UTC This is not really part of the job of the cite component, and as you say, needs javascript. This is already implemented at [[Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups]], and you can copy the js there to any other wiki if you want to use this feature somewhere other than the main wikis.
