Thanks for that, however I am still a bit confused.

If I had a seperate javascript sheet called "footnoteLinks.js" I only want that to run when someone trys to print the page (when "print.css" is used)

what would I put in the main html page?

If you want the js to run after the print selection you would use the onafterprint command. You can place it the head section of your page with the rest of your javascript.

I myself am still learning js but I have to admit it is fun. Hopefully someone else will see your post and possibly offer a better or easier way to accomplish what you want. Good luck.

are you using any websites to learn? as I am looking for some more online tutorials

Yes I am. One of the sites is the above site for online javascript tutorials. There are several more online if you google for online coding tutorials or any variation of that. I could post them here but creates bad juju if the link is bad. If you like reading without the glare of the screen, go to Amazon and check out the books like CSS, The missing manual and Javascript, The missing manual. They're great books and I use them as desk refernces all the time. There are other books in the missing manual series for different languages such as HTML, PHP, etc.
