I have tried to make bookmarklets for Internet Explorer and Netscape which allow you to quickly do a search on Wikipedia: you highlight any term on a web page, click on the bookmarklet, and a Wikipedia search on that term will be started. The Netscape version doesn't quite work yet. If any Javascript hackers could fix it, I would appreciate it.

Here's my version...

I can't load Axel's page (is the url right, Axel?) but if I could, I'm sure his bookmarklets are better than mine. But ! my Netscape version, which I use personally every day, works great!
We can't really put these on the wiki directly, because the javascript breaks the page, I think.
