Do they work properly? Skip down to footnote and back?

There’s a distinct improvement!

“1” is now displayed in superscript – hooray!

And the link seems to jump about as you intended it to!

However, subsequent links are not displayed as superscript, and, personally, I can do without the jumping about!
I’d rather use my scroll-wheel where I’m in control, not the hyperlink!

Nonetheless, some progress has been made, and we’re not obliged to use the links!

So. curate’s egg ATM! As we (used to) say in Education, “Working towards”.

Steve, how about reposting your or “a” “test” passage so we all (NetSurf users) can see what progress has been made more easily?

This post really shows-up the scroll-bar issue, though! 3.11 (Dev CI #5224)

Ooh, that’s nice.
That shows the value of feedback to the developers.
Footnotes “jumping about”¹ Although the action of moving the caret is just a flicker on a short post, on a long² post it will “jump” to something off the bottom of the current screenful and “jump” back to the in text link when you use the footnote – i.e. true footnotes with a return mechanism.

¹ so they should “jump” here.

² But no one round here posts items over a screenful do they? ;)

Only those who make footnotes.

Although of course the size of a screenful varies from user to user, with me at one extreme (probably) and DavidS at the other.

References appear superscript at the bottom of the page, but the link underline is still at the bottom underline position.
The references in the text itself look “half-size”, but are now in “sub” rather than “super” position.

It would look better if the link underline was turned off for these instances if it can’t be made to appear under the superscript itself (in “dash” position), and if it was actually superscript in the body as well.

The link could be indicated by the number being coloured rather than having the coloured underline.

All IMHO, and at least one can now see that there’s something going on rather than random numbers appearing in the text for no apparent reason!

That’s the Firefox display, so we could call that “standard”

Oops, backward step.

I think so too, and it would make NetSurf better than Firefox IMO

Does it not use normal “link” colour?

Progress, for what is after all a lightweight browser when compared even to other RO browsers.

Difficult to tell at “normal” scale. It does seem to be a shade of grey, but I’m used to blue!

Visited links appeared to be coloured grey on the site.

Of course, how silly of me! So they were presumably blue to start with!

But the underline is confusing in this case, and the subscript  "not quite right!".

Could this be selectively removed for superscript  only within the CSS file, wherever that is, and/or can it be locally substituted/over-ridden?

If so that would only leave the erroneous subscript   to be dealt with!

I think you’re missing an important point – the footnote marker in the text, and down at the footnote, is a link and the setting in the browser is to underline links.

If you change the browser to make the link bold in a distinctive colour and NOT underline then the footnote links will be that distinctive colour in bold and no underline.

1. In Firefox there’s a sub-option under Language and Appearance —> colors —> underline links (ticked) but that’s all links
2. CSS has the “text-decoration:none;” property, but you’d need to get that into the footnote only or lose all underlines on links
