I think I sent you quick fix, that was the basis for a fuller
solution that was later uploaded to  www.latex2html.org .


Have a look at my test pages, based on the examples that you have
provided:

   http://www-texdev.mpce.mq.edu.au/KLEBANOV/ftest2/ftest2.html

and an earlier one:

   http://www-texdev.mpce.mq.edu.au/KLEBANOV/ftest/ftest.html

These work as well as can be expected, I think.
The main document has:

<P>
Text.<A NAME="footfnm1"
 HREF="footnode.html#fnm1"><SUP>1</SUP></A> More text.

while the footnote itself has:

<DL>
<DT><A NAME="fnm1">...Text.</A><A
 HREF="node1.html#footfnm1"><SUP>1</SUP></A></DT>
<DD>Some more text.


Notice how each references the other, using the footnote marker
as the anchor text.

It's true that the browser may not indicate the result from a back-link
in an obvious way; especially when the total contents of the page is quite
small, and fits entirely into the window. 
But that's a browser issue, not an HTML issue, so far as I can tell.


If anyone knows a better way to indicate the targetted text after a 
hyperlink, then please tell me about it.
 better still --- send some coding that could be used here.  :-)

Yes; I see that the back-link doesn't show here.
Updating should provide the fix.

  very pithy, and quite accurate!
