The truth is that I think that the spell check needs a service by its own. My thought was to make it a global online service.
it should support all languages by selection.
and correct all spelling mistakes
have to be a smart system that will check all words of the textbox and check if they are on her dictionery.
if they are then 'its good, dont do a thing
else check for other close words and make a suggestion to add the unknown word for the "Web Wiz" dictionery :D
end if
I think that you understand the main idea.
If it's not already exists by ASP...
I can help developing if you'll need help.
It could be a great feature for all web masters... RTE non relited.
Hope that anyone will pay attention for my littel suggestion
 .I want to be involved and updated if someone will got serious, thanks.

There are already browser spell checkers. I think adding it to Web Wiz
would be a waste of effort that could be spent on other aspects of the
application, and would probably put a lot of extra load on the server. Internet Explorer: http://www.iespell.com/ Firefox/Mozilla: http://spellbound.sourceforge.net/ |

I did look into creating a spell checker for the RTE in ASP, but the
problem was, just to support just 1 language (let alone more) required
an extreamly large file. It then took forever for ASP to be able to load in a search through this massive list for spelling mistakes. It's much simpler a quicker to use the two external ones that are linked to in the RTE already. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me. |
