Modified suites.netDictionary

Using the Frontier suite: suites.netDictionary, and a free on-line dictionary at Princeton University, I added a short script to the navigation bar of each page on our intranet. Just type in any word, and our DCE Server will look up its definition. A window will pop up that has the definition of your word. Thanks to Dave Winer at Scripting News for the idea and the netDictionary suite. Thanks also to WordNet hunchback of notre dame ii the online , which is the provider of the definitions.

I’ve done a couple modifications to further refine the definitions (i.e. pulling out nouns, verbs, etc.) Look below for the lookup script:
