# [Plugin: HTML Javascript Adder] Displaying annotations in sidebar

 * I’m searching for a way to create links in my pages that will open brief annotations(
   text only) in my sidebar.
 * I installed HTML Javascript Adder today, so from what I understand this should
   be possible; I’m just not sure what script to use.
 * A similar plugin (Side Matter) seems not to have worked with my theme (Adaption).
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 * I tried these steps this morning but to no avail. Maybe someone can point out
   where I went wrong?
 * First, this script was added to the content section of the HTML Javascript Adder
   plugin:
 * <script type=”text/javascript”>
    $(“a.note”).click(function() { var alt = $(this).
   attr(‘alt’); var pos = $(this).position(); $(‘#note_display’).html(alt); $(‘#
   note_display’).css({ position: “absolute”, top: pos.top + “px” }).show(); });
   </script>
 * <div id=”note_display”></div>
 * Then this was added to header.php:
 * <script type=”text/javascript” src=”[http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js”></script&gt](http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js”></script&gt);
 * Then the notes in the page itself were formatted like this:
 * `<a class="note" alt="Sidebar text here"> Link to sidebar text here </a>`
 * The sidebar title appears but the links do nothing. Once again, any help would
   be much appreciated.
