dunno, I was asking if there was a way to get the same sort of functionality to work.

I have built a little test page that does this part in JavaScript (and sends the results to Google or Google Dictionary). [1] That part is not completely overwhelming. But then you''ll want a way to persist these selections, and there''s also some cleverness going on in Highlighter to play back those selections later, so the next time a different person comes to the page, they see the highlighted text with an icon to relate to the comment. That part looks to be non-trivial. Walter 1. http://scripty.walterdavisstudio.com/lookup.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
