I know this is OT, but is there a Javascript expert out there?
I need to know if it is possible to write a JS function which will
send a user-highlighted text string from a Web page as the argument
of a script URL. That is, the user double-clicks an arbitrary word
(not a link) and a menu drops down out of nowhere and the user
clicks 'Send' and the JS invokes a new page to
http://blah/cgi-bin/foo?text=thestring
I have very conflicting reports on whether this is actually possible
and I can't find a response from anyone authoritative.
