Answers.Text: Silly question, but after making my aside footnote invisible, now it doesn't show up in text but when I click on it the footnote window is not visible. Also the aside element still takes up space on the page even though it's invisible.

  First of all, note that iBooks for OS X is very very buggy, and its behavior differs from iBooks on iOS with respect to many functions.
  
  Said that, note that "iBooks hiding  elements" is an Apple quirk; any other reading system, in absence of relevant CSS rules or if they don't have a specialized behavior on elements carrying an `epub:type`, will display an  as any other .
  
  Have you tried applying a CSS rule (e.g., `visibility: hidden`) to your ?
  
  BTW, for compatibility reasons, I tend to group the notes at the end of the XHTML file.
