When you give us a sentence, at least in browser mode, we can mouse-over a word and get the definition. It's fantastic!

Could/would it be possible to do the same when we are viewing a word?

I began to study a new list of words, and I came across 气氛, I remembered 气 meant or had something to do with air, but I had no idea about the meaning of 氛。

To see the meaning, I had to click on details and then scroll down to see the definition.

If we were to mouse-over the word when shown in the
" [Show Words]" mode, it would be a huge huge benefit.

My Dear Sirs, even though, I am continually asking for features,
I am very very pleased with you site. I am only voicing an opinion and a sincere interest in making things better. (in my opinion)

This would be difficult to program. Keep asking for features though!

Excuse me for asking, but I want to make sure we are talking about the same thing.

Since I can mouse over a "word" in a sentence, and get it's meaning, I would think that the ability to do that for a single word would be about the same (difficulty).

I know absolutely nothing about programming, so please forgive my ignorance.

This won't help you any, but in Wenlin, anytime you mouse over a word, the definition(s) appear at the bottom of the screen, it even breaks down a compound word into its component characters, just like you do with your details for a compound word.

Sorry to bother you.

A mouseover would be possible to program in the same way as the sentences. But what I meant is that at this advanced stage it would take a lot of time and money to do. And in a way this feature is already available through the Related words at the bottom of the word detail pages.
