Without looking, here's my guess

They use the document's onselect functions to open an iframe which does the
dictionary lookup based on what words they have selected.  I frames do not
work in NN.  Frankly, I like this feature as well, even if it is IE only.
If I ever code something like this, I'll make it available to interested
persons.
