I've used sites that do this and I find it very annoying. I double click to select words and I triple click to select a paragraphs. Usually I do this as a visual bookmark when scrolling, but sometimes to cut&paste. If you want to include a glossary for difficult words, you can just use <a> links with title text: <a title="section of a document that defines words">glossary</a> Hovering over the word shows the title text. Style as desired. Elijah ------ can't think of a site offhand that still does definition thing
