I changed the <head> node to this, but it's still not reaching my lookup 
action in the controller:


<head>

      <script type="text/javascript" 
src="javascripts/prototype.js"></script>
      <script type="text/javascript" 
src="javascripts/effects.js"></script>
      <script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[

  //don't forget to add <body ondblclick="dictionary()">
  function dictionary() {
    var t = document.getSelection();
  //alert(t);
    od(t);
  }

  function od(t) {
  //t=t.replace(/[!.:?,;"]/, '');
  //while (t.substr(t.length-1,1)==' ')
  //  t=t.substr(0,t.length-1);
  //while (t.substr(0,1)==' ')
  //  t=t.substr(1);
  //alert(t);
  if (t) {
  alert('moving forward');

  <%= remote_function(:update => "definition_box", :url => { :action => 
:lookup } ) %>

  }
  }
//]]>
      </script>
  </head>
