Nope. How can you? Soon as the alert window says "Spell checking complete" and you hit "ok" it closes the popup. The weird thing is you can continue with multiple edits as long as you don't preview. Soon as you preview the whole thing chokes.

I'm using Firefox 1.0.6 on W2K btw. Haven't checked it in other browsers yet.

I use Firefox 1.0.6, and it happens to be the browser I've tested with. I was able to preview, after spell checking, and the updated text appeard in the spell checker.

Hmm. Okay then. Just in case I explained it incorrectly, here's exactly what I do to get the error:

1. Get to an editor and write anything (preferably something with spelling errors)
2. Spellcheck
3. Preview
4. Add anything else to your message
5. Spellcheck again

Whatever I have added won't show up in the spellchecker. However, if I add some more text, preview it and then spellcheck, it seems to work.

Since I notice that whenever spellchecker hacks traditionally show up around here, those are the recurring general instructions, while I installed PungoSpell this time I actually kept track of all my template edits :). Here's the list:

• editpost - Adds the spellchecker to Advanced Mode editing (won't show up in the AJAX-generated version of the inline editor)
• New Posting Templates > newthread - Whenever a new thread is being posted
• New Posting Templates > newreply - When replying to an existing thread
• Private Message Templates > USERCP_SHELL, pm_newpm - Adds spellchecking to PM system. To do this one the <script src="pungospell.js"></script> script must go in the head of USERCP_SHELL, the <form name="spell_form"> code goes in the same template under the $navbar var, then the buttons are added to the pm_newpm template.
• Calendar Templates > calendar_edit - Adds spellchecking to calendar events. Note there are two sets of submit and reset buttons in this template. Your spellchecker button should go in the first of these (the buttons directly under all the hidden tags, not the button set at the end of the page).

I thinks that's it. Tried adding it to the contactus template for the board's contact form and for some reason it won't work there. Not entirely sure why.

Hope this helps someone :).

O.k., I was able to reproduce it with these steps :) Will takea look and see if there's a way around it.

Welo, give the new version a try. Download the zip, and just upload pungospell.js. Let me know how it goes.

I think that did it, bud. Tried every way I could to break it :D and it works exactly fine now. Thanks for fixing it :). This is a great hack. :up:

is this better than vbspell?

I would say no. PSPELL and Aspell depend on your PHP compilation, and from past experience, some problems may occur when you upgrade PHP. So, a lot of things can go wrong. vB Spell is more stable, IMHO.

Okay, I finally got a chance to work with skinning the spellchecker interface today and came up with a layout I think is pretty nice. Attached is an altered version of pungospell.php containing the template. Feel free to use it if you want (it's named welo-pungospell.php so naturally you have to rename it).

One thing I'm having trouble figuring out though, is how to get the iframe to use my fonts and background colors (IE6 is being especially stubborn about this). Might have to just rename it to a php file and import the css that way.
