with the following script you can query the online dictionary LEO (http://dict.leo.org) with a simple Shift-Right-Click over the word you do not know.
It should (hopefully ;-)) work with the IE and Firefox.
By setting the variable htmlString to another URL you can adapt this script for querying any other online dictionary. If you do this you also have to asign the variable titleSearchString a part of the tiltle of that online dictionary. This is nessecary for reusing always the same browser window for querying the dictionary.
Cheers
