shovel,

Thanks for posting this info.  I was able to determine the methodyou used and ported launching SpellBound with a button to one of my webapps.

SpellBound's call method may change in future versions, but it works beautifully for now.

You don't need a button to run it, once installed, right click on the text area and choose 'Check Spelling', will launch it.]]> Mon, 13 Dec 2004 07:28:55 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/firefox-spellchecker_topic11154_post71728.html#71728 https://forums.webwiz.net/firefox-spellchecker_topic11154_post71725.html#71725 Author: bruce

That is very nice!  I've been searching for a spell checker for Firefox.

Now how do I get it on my forum?  Works great here!  Well done.

Worked fine in the form for me too -borg-.

(only trouble I had was sourceforge's slowness kept throwing me install errors -- but i got it after the 5th try)

I've added a spell checker button into the RTE editor on this forum, sonow if you click the spell check button it it will launch SpellBound in Mozilla, if it isinstalled.

If it is not installed a conformation box pops up inviting you to go to the SpellBound download page.

The only problem I have encountered is when the button isclicked SpellBound prevents any JavaScript from running that isconnected to the button, so I can not set the focus on the message area.

This means that if the page focus is not set on the message area when the button is clicked nothing will happen.

This is not a big deal, but knowing the people who come to this site someone will complain.

It certainly makes it very simple to add the functionality to thebutton, so I'm sure this will make SpellBound much more popular.

Thanks shovel.

I've had a look at it and it looks like I can add it to a button element in the RTE.

I'll hopefully have it finshed by the end of today and I'll place a beta version on this forum.

Hello ~borg~

Just got this from Robert from Spellbound.

Jim


I have just released the next version and it has support for spell checking via clicking an element on a web page. To get around the potential security issues all it does is listen for a click event and if the element has an id that starts with spellboundSC (it is case sensitive) it will launch spellbound using the last selected element as the element to spell check. After installing the latest release you can try the example located on the FAQ <http://spellbound.sourceforge.net/faq#q02> page . I am planning another release within the month so if there are some modifications that can be made I should be able to add them for that release.

Also, the next release should support checking multiple textarea, input, and rich text (e.g. midas) elements on the same web page.

Cheers,
Robert

Thanks shovel, hopefully there will be someway to intergrate it, as itwould be much better if it could be done the same way as ieSpelllanchaes in IE.

Hope you get you placed fixed up
