spell checking anyone?anyone know of anything off hand? we can buy, in fact they want us to buy rather than develop.

Um... not to be a smartass, but spell check is included automatically in Firefox and Safari. I know most companies still treat IE as their "official" browser, but it'd be a shame to buy a plugin to provide functionality that's free in other browsers.

Did you see this one a while back? I bookmarked it, but never had a reason to try it. Uses the spell checker in iNotes in a regular Domino app.
{ Link }
I don' t know if it's version-specific or not, but might be worth a look. Maybe not, since you wouldn't be developing it, but IBM surely wouldn't support it either.
At the time that I was looking into this, I found a few options by using "the Google." Some were commercial. Don't have links for those, though, and your Google-fu is at least as strong as mine...

I can spell. Where is the user located, and do they have an extra chair in their cube? I'll bring a whip and a taser. They'll learn.

I have to agree with Tim, though unlike him I have no reservations about being a smart ass from time to time. Some say it is my default state.
Spell Checking is inherently a client side activity and I strongly believe it should be handled by the browser or a browser plug in.
If you insist on staying with IE as a standard, there are add ons for it as well. A google search brought up several recommendations for this one:

I have used { Link } for a Domino solution, I picked it as it worked in both browsers, and supported FCKEditor and TinyMCE.
My customer now uses mozilla only so could just use the built in spellcheck, but this was a cool solution.

thanks a lot everyone. i think we're going with Turtle. he'll be our official spell checker. it was the whip and taser that won us over. ;-)

Still need this Jon? I wrote a TinyMCE Domino-based spell-checking plugin recently!
