Worked great, thanks!

Nice hack...

No offense, but a spell checking solution that is dependant on someone else's server being around and accessible isn't really the best solution for serious users.

You can find a great open source solution on the thread below:

If your host won't support aspell or ispell libraries (which the above "hack" requires), my recommendation is to consider other, more capable hosting providers. They are out there if you do the research.

The hack was made virtually identical to SpellChecker.net. Its also very easy to install, without having to install any libraries.

Plus its written in PHP and NOT perl ;)

No offense Loveshack is right. A company like Spellchecker.net you can trust to be online. This is not a large company like Spellchecker.net so your really at their mercy.

I do like the functionality of this though...much better then the other version Perter Clack pointed us too. So people will just have to weigh their options. :)

Thanks for pointing out another solution Raz.

Hi Raz

That`s a nice hack and I`ll be using it, but I`m having a few probs....

The only way I can get anything to come up is by moving the files from the spellcheck directory, to the forum root. Works then.

But when it first opens I get a double "Page cannot be found" swiftly followed by the spellchecking stuff. Sometimes the text appears on it`s own. Other times, the checking box also appears. I find if it hasn`t appeared and I click on one of the highlighted words, then the checking box (with alternate words) appears.

Sometimes when I hit change, everything disappears. It may come back later, but I gave up waiting. Sometimes when you click "Change word" nothing happens and I have to keep clicking and clicking. *sigh* I can`t see anybody having the patience to use it unless I fix it. Any suggestions? Or is this behaviour unique to me?

We are a pretty big movie site and we have been online for a long time non-stop. We aren't going anywhere ;)

Plus please remember this is a FREE function that I am providing for fellow VBers.

PhoenixBB, could you post your forum URL so that I can check it out?

Hi Raz

url:
I`m wondering if it`s my ISP. Been having probs with the DSL connection so it could be because of that. I shall try it later with the 56k. If it works ok when you try, then it`s definitely that.......

Hi PhoenixBB,

Its not working is because the spellcheck directory needs the "blank.html" from the zip file.

Cheers,
Raz
