OK, here's a set of dictionary bookmarklets that works in MSIE5 and
NS4. So now the 85% of you out there using MSIE can appreciate this:

Same window:
<a href="javascript:d=document;location='http://www.dict.org/bin/Dict?Strategy=*&Database=*&Form=Dict1&Query='+escape(d.layers?d.getSelection():d.selection.createRange().text)">Lookup</a>

Three new windows:
<a href="javascript:d=document;q=escape(d.layers?d.getSelection():d.selection.createRange().text);void window.open('http://www.dict.org/bin/Dict?Strategy=*&Database=*&Form=Dict1&Query='+q);void window.open('http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va='+q);void window.open('http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term='+q)/*kjs*/">Lookup</a>
