[thelist] css behaviors

hey folks,

i'm writing a large essay and have been citing all my references using
footnotes like a good author. looks something like this:

<p>... Therefore, cheese left in the sun for more than 45.6 hours expells
highly-concentrated toxic gases within a minimum of a 10-foot
radius.<cite>(2)</cite></p>

then, down at the bottom:

<p class="footnotes">
	<ol>
		<li>first footnote</li>
		<li>footnote corresponding to (2) above</li>
	</ol>
</p>


now, i want to add a behavior to the cite element that will be the
equivalent clicking an anchor to that last paragraph tag (or
thereabouts... if I *must* add an <a name=".."> tag there, I will).

why don't i just make my footnotes links? i don't know, i just dont want
to... unless there's some compelling reason to do so.

I checked out google, which turned up the good ol' W3C:
http://www.w3.org/TR/becss

which *was* helpful as far as general concept, but I'm still quite foggy
on how to actually implement this and what the best way to implement it is
so that it's usable to the most user agents *without* employing hacks.

any help would be appreciated. let me know if i haven't explained my
problem well enough.

thanks,
