Hi,

I'm trying to reproduce the altclickanswers on nytimes website, but
with jQuery. Basically, when you dblclick on a word, it fires a popup
with the selected word for query.

My problem is "How to get the selected word" ? Which selector can i
use ?

var the_selected_word = ???;
$(the_selected_word).dblclick(function () {
var the_url = "http://www.google.com/search?q= + the_selected_word +";
window.open(the_url,'name of the
popup','height=450,width=800,location,menubar,toolbar,status,resizable,scrollbars');
});

thank you for your comprehension :)
