A little something I found.
RikaiXUL is an extension for Firefox that pop-up the kanji, kana and english definitions of a word or of a single kanji in a web page.
Just need to right-click anywhere in the web page and click "rikaixul!". Then, just move the mouse on the word you want to check. Very usefull on japanese web page.
You need Firefox 1.0 or later. They're all free btw.

Enjoy!

Wow! That's pretty cool. I wonder this extension uses the e-dict as its standard.

This should save me time from opening up JWPce and pasting everything over and over again. hehe

Looks like it. Somewhere hidden in: \Documents and Settings\My Profile\Application Data\...\content\rikaixul\ I have these files:
edict, kanjidic, kanjidic.doc, partdict, radical_meanings, radicals.tm, radkfile and vconj.

Yeah, I saw that it was using e-dict from the toolbar as it was parsing the page.

I'm thinking about making my own extention, so look out for that. I need something to keep me busy this summer so my programming skills don't wear out. Smile
