Automatic Spell Check

[mpare]

For those of you who may be spelling challenged and are using Internet Explorer 7 as your web browser, a free download, IE 7 Pro [ http://www.ie7pro.com/ ] includes a feature that automatically spell checks anything that you type while on the Net. The incorrect word is underlined in red and a suggested spelling appears at the top of the box one obtains by right clicking on the word. Also, included are links to on-line dictionaries. Now, that really is idiot proof.

Hey, I tried to get our usual bad spelling suspects to use Firefox 2.0 last year for exactly the same reason.

They still spell badly.

[sillywilly]

I'm using firefox an when ever I spell something wrong... it doesn't get underlined!

[jvincent]

Are you using Firefox 2.0?

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12

Under Tools -> Options -> Advanced there's a "Check spelling as I type" box.

I use the lateset firefox and have that selected, it does not show me my spelling errors.

[jvincent]

That's oddd.

I made the above typo on purpose and it was underlined for me.

[sillywilly]

The ad blocking of Firefox works great though.

[jvincent]

Not sure what's going on with you guys. I guess my computer is better than yours.

Mine (Firefox) works just like JVincent said.

A little googlage turned up the following:

Check and verify that properly dictionary in the typed language is installed and added to Firefox. To check, simply right click on any user type-able field, and if you see an option Add dictionaries… as shown in figure below, that’s mean no dictionaries existed in Firefox, so spelling check won’t work.

[sillywilly]

mine doesn't have the option...

It wooorks now. Hoonest.
