Dictionary Bookmarklet

Work has been quite slow lately, so I have had more time to play. Today I got sick of always opening a new browser to look up Japanese words I don't know, so I made me some dictionary bookmarklets. They work on Win98/ie 6, don't know about other browsers, but if anyone is interested, go ahead and drag these links into your bookmark list.

English Dictionary | Japanese Dictionary | E2J Dictionary

Later: added by popular demand... E2J English to Japanese

To use it:

Point at a dictionary link above.
Click right mouse button and choose "Add to Favorites".

OR

Drag the bookmarklet link into your Favorites (using View >> Explorer Bar). You can also drag the link up to your Favorites menu; when the menu opens, drag to whichever place you prefer.

Then just highlight a word on the page you are reading, and click on the bookmarklet. A new browser window will open taking you to a dictionary site with the results for that word.

The English dictionary uses Dictionary.com simply because I didn't spend a lot of time looking for the best site. If you know of a better English-English dictionary, let me know.

The Japanese dictionary opens to a program on my site which is actually getting the results from Jim Breen's WWWJDIC Server. The only reason my site is in the middle is because the Japanese text has to be passed to Jim's dictionary as EUC, and I don't know how to convert the Shift-jis to EUC with JavaScript, so I do it server side. If it's possible with JavaScript, let me know.
