I see when you get the reply to post box up there is a 'check spelling' button. Now I may be a bear of very little brain but I am damned if I can get it to do anything ~x(

I make deliberate errors (not easy for me

) and press the button ... nothing ... I highlight all the text and press it ....highlighting goes away ... nothing

Does it do anything - and if so how do you make it do it .......... :-??

What browser do you use SF? - have you tried right clicking a word to see if it comes up with a spell checker

Used Firefox ever since it was launched - love it - no right click option that I can see

Hmmmm I can't remember now if I stopped using it because although they say there is a built in checker it didn't work despite there supposingly being a plug -in which I downloaded or if couldn't get on with it, I use google chrome now.

Aha just reinstalled FF to try & my avg says its blocked the plugin [meta.... something] as there is known security fault with it, ....... any help?

It's crazy

IE is the lesser of all available browsers now, but it is STILL classed as the browser standard.

When coding a website, you can only account for so many browsers before you spend years writing code and the site never goes live :))

From memory, I think IA v3.0.6 I tested on IE, Firefox and Chrome.

But as for the spelling, is 'IEspell' behind that button ... as the name suggests - only available for IE
