Spell Checker for IE

I just thought I would take a minute to point people to a great little tool for Internet Explorer, a spell checker. It's just like the one found in MS-Office products. It's called ieSpell. It works with current versions of IE and has a 90% or better spell correction accuracy. I've been using it for about 1.5 years now, and it works great (when I actually use it :oops: ). And yes, you can add words to it just like the office checker. However, please note, this is no grammar checker!

http://www.iespell.com/

It will save you some post edits, and us admins/moderators from having to edit posts so much. So if you don't have it installed to your Internet Explorer, I would like to encourage you to get it.:thumbsup:

I too use it for my IE, since my Firefox won't allow me to download without crashing. :cry2:

For some reason the spellchecker isn't working... I press the button for it, but nothing happens... I even wrote on purpose a spelling error to test if it was still working, but not even then did anything happen...

After installing it, did you restart your IE? If so, then you may want to check your IE settings. Maybe there isa something blocking it from working.

Yes, I restarted my IE, and it did work for a while. I've checked my settings now, but nothing has changed, even if I tried to check/uncheck some settings...

Yep, Firefox. To me it's the best, but that's just my opinion. Seems to work well particularly with new pages such as XHTML.

For all of those who can't seem to get this working, stay tunned. In roughly a month give a week or two, I plan on installing a vBulletin spell checker which will allow anyone posting to check their spelling via the site, no matter what browser you are using.
