Hi,
I'm trying to make an automatic glossary which means at any page on my website if a specific word appeared, it would have a link to the meaning. How do I do this? Is there a way or do I have to do it manually for each word on each page??
Thank you very much!

This is most likely going to become too daunting of a task for JavaScript. Maybe you should ask the same question on the forum corresponding to your processing language (php, asp, java, etc). I'm sure you'll find a much easier solution there.

you would need to pass text through a wraper before it is sent to the browser, this wrapper will do a "search and insert" when a certain string or sentence is found.

I also suggest asp/php/perl for this operation.
