Abstract: The present invention relates to a feedback system for adding feedback functionality to an online content management system without altering the stored online content. The feedback system includes a feedback submission module for providing the content system with information enabling a browser displaying hypertext received from the content management system to select text for specific commenting, providing a feedback form when a portion of the hypertext is highlighted, and storing the selected text along with feedback received with the feedback form after it is returned by the browser. The system may include a personalized feedback status module, a view feedback module, and a feedback management module. The personalized feedback status module: responds to a user request to view feedback submitted by a user by searching the stored feedback; sends results to the browser.
