arvind Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 Finally a spell checker for Firefox that does work and doesn't involve hacking etc. http://spellbound.sourceforge.net/ Quote
TCH-Rob Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 Its aboot time but am I looking in the wrong place? I dont see the file. Quote
youneverknow Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 Just curious...why would one want a Spell checker in a browser? To see mispelled words AFTER you publish? Maybe someone could explain this to me...Thanks youneverknow Quote
TCH-Dick Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 for when your posting replies on a forum would be one reason Quote
youneverknow Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 I just went to the link and found my answers....yea that is pretty cool! youneveknow Quote
TCH-Dick Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 just downloaded wondering if it works yup it does, although I would prefer an auto correct Quote
TCH-Don Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 Tried just spellbound, nothing so installed all three and the US dictionary and great! Thank you arvind! Quote
borfast Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 I can't get it to work on Firefox 0.9.1 / Linux... Quote
youneverknow Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 Raul. Do you have Java enabled? I think I read that it is required for it to work but... youneverknow Quote
borfast Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 It needs JavaScript (JavaScript is different from Java ) but yes, it is enabled. It installed just fine but I couldn't see any menu option for it Quote
TCH-Don Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 I just right clicked in the text box and saw the spell check option Quote
TCH-Rob Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 It is there for me as well. Interesting that it cannot replace contractions. If one types dont it will find a flaw in the spelling but will not offer don't. Quote
