But is there a way to use onMouseOver so when your mouse hovers over a
word, a window/alert will pop up and tell you the google definition
(search for define:"word")?
Liam,
Your question is a little open ended. I'm sure there is a way to do
this but it would be much more complicated than your sample gadget.
You'd have to start doing some event handling to capture the x,y
coordiantes of where the mouseover occurs, then traverse the DOM to
figure out which word the mouse is over. Then you have a word you can
use to make an HTTP request to some dictionary service like answers.com
or Google's own search engine.
