capturing text

[sgebbie2]

Can anyone tell me how to do this
I have a massive text file (the result of an export), basically a list of words.
the easiest way of modifing this text file to work the way i want it to is to paste a script at the top.

what i need is if i click on a word (lets imagine 'example') , i need to find out what that word is, eg, event.srcElement....text = "example"

if that makes any sense.. or even if the word is doubleclicked, how can I reference it??? cant find body.document.selection or anything similar


any helpp would be appreciated

thanks

I guess if I understood you correctly,take a look at this script.

ok im too stupid for my own good

if i click once, can i trugger ie to doubleclick ?
ie instead if double clicking i want 1 click to select text

I can change it in control panel, but that makes everything else very complicated

Not sure, try it and see what kind of results you get,and once you screwed it up really good,then let me know

:D
