Get a dictionary lookup button for IE or Netscape here, No spyware or malware, and free.

Cool - was able to get the Netscape version working in Opera 7.1 (already has a dictionary link, but its always good to have a 2nd opinion). Also was able to do a thesaurus link to the same site.
Nice thing about Opera, you can just highlight the word in question, click the toolbar button and it bypasses the js popup and does a direct lookup of the highlighted word.

(**edit - see it does the same in IE; probably, NS too.)

Why do they call it a button whe it's just a link?

Hewee -
If you've got the personal Toolbar displayed in Netscape, you should be able to click and drag the Netscape link to the toolbar and have it form a button, that you can click to do your dictionary lookup.

(don't think I have any version of Netscape installed to test it right now.)

Thanks I know that jakoval.

OK I see how it is a java box that comes up first.
That is the only bookmark link I have that has the java in it.

It worked on netscape 7.

That's neat, gotrootdude thanks.

I tried the drag to links, but got a security warning, so i just saved it in my favorites & use it from fav link.

Hi......Does anyone have the Web address for the Opera program that Jakoval mentions in his post.
Many thanks.
Have a good day

Did anyone read the privacy policy of the above named
dictionary? I wouldn't be too keen on it.
