Can you get the word the user has double-clicked on? I've tried in a onDblClick eventhandler but selectionStart is undefined there; and the onselect event seems to be available only for TextArea.
You can use document.selection.createRange().text
in IE, and window.getSelection().toString()
in firefox and webkit, and attach to the ondblclick
handler like so:
document.ondblclick = function () {
var sel = (document.selection && document.selection.createRange().text) ||
(window.getSelection && window.getSelection().toString());
alert(sel);
};

window.getSelection()
