HTMLEditor and spell checker

[DeeZ]

Since I'm using the great HTMLEditor object, I'm wondering if it anyone has already added a spell checker feature?

Two main ways:
- using an online solution with Google Spell check (http://weblogs.asp.net/pwelter34/archive/2005/07/19/419838.aspx) for example
- or using a server side component like aspell (http://aspell.net/)

Is it planned in extjs 2.0 ? Or later ?
Thx.

Thx, I know that FF has spell checker plugins (IE and Safari too) .
But I have "standard" customer users who are not really concerned about installing plug-in. They want "all in the box" ... Like me in fact :)

FF2.x has built-in spellcheck capability. it spellchecks as you type in textareas.

try typing nonsense words in any textarea.

Hi

You`ll need a dictionary and code on the server side.
On apache you can use aspell (http://aspell.net/) with php, and the dictonaries (ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/0index.html).
Tinymce has a spell checker with php backend that works with aspell.

Just look for ajax spell check and you`ll get other examples (http://www.broken-notebook.com/spell_checker/index.php).

As far as I know, google suggest doesn`t work any more.

Hope that helps.

I believe there is an addon for the purpose.

No such add-on/plug-in/extension AFAIK.
If anyone else knows different, please let it be known...
