If you keep you "Links" toolbar visible in you browser windows, yet another
alternative would be modifying what's explained for Merriam-Webster dictionary
in the following page:
http://www.m-w.com/button/index.htmIt basically ends up adding a favorite/link
with the following "URL" (beware; it may wrap to multiple lines in you mail
reader):
IE:
javascript:Qr=document.selection.createRange().text;if(!Qr){void(Qr=prompt('Enter
word to find in Merriam-Webster
Dictionary:',''))}if(Qr)location.href='http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?'+escape(Qr)+'
'
Netscape:
javascript:Qr=document.getSelection();if(!Qr){void(Qr=prompt('Enter word to
find in Merriam-Webster
Dictionary:',''))}if(Qr)location.href='http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?'+escape(Qr)+'
'
I've been using this "prompted" behavior for other things that I don't have in
DQSD. It's pretty handy.
Thanks,
Özgür
PS: Note that, pop-up windows that doesn't show the "Links" toolbar would be a
problem for this solution, just as pages with "disabled context menu" would be
for some of the other solutions.
