Subject: Another option for glossing/notes
As a follow-up to the discussion on using pop-ups or frames for notes, you
can see an example of giving the user a choice on how to highlight glossed
items and what to do on text select/mouse click/mouseover at:
http://www.vcu.edu/hasweb/for/grimm/aschen_dict.html
One of the advantages of giving the user that choice is that users with
older browsers can still use the glosses/notes by, for example, choosing
hypertext links rather than DHTML enhancements like glossing automatically
on text selection. It's also possible that way to allow display of
glossed items according to user prference (unmarked, colored, italicized,
etc.).

Dear John, Domenico, Stéphan and Richard, thank you for the help provided.
Unfortunately, my MS IE 4.0 wouldn't allow me to admire all of the scripts'
effects. However, I am stimulated by the various ways of presenting the
text alternatives on screen. Feel free to visit the critical edition of
Alojz Gradnik's Collected Poems where I experimented with a script that
fited my purposes the most -- look at the first poem Vecni studenci in the
right frame of the document. Font ISO-Latin 2 or Central European ISO is
used. The poet's changes should appear in a small popup frame when the
sensitive word or line is touched with the mouse:

You'll find the Javascript helpmaster.js in the same directory.
Best regards
Miran
