Sorry, my subject is rather vague, but I can't really think of a better way to describe it.

Okay, I am looking for a script so that when a user types in a word, it will display a meaning of that word. This is kinda like the morse code translater, but instead of giving a letter for letter, its just need to give the meaning of the word.

How would you go about doing this?

Thank you so much!

Look here for the script (http://www.siteexperts.com/tips/bookmarklets/ts01/page2.asp)

Two ways that can be done: either within a prompt box, or user highlights a word and clicks on a link to activate the dictionary (or thesaurus).

if you mean like an actual dictionary, check out www.m-w.com . it's the website for Merriam-Webster, and you can get their dictionary search box on your website, free. just copy and paste the code they provide. i'm pretty sure there's a link to that on the front page.
