I've tried iespell and tested it by intentionally creating typos. Sometimes, it doesn't pick on all of them or *any* of them.
One other thing about iespell is that it only works with Internet Explorer that I am aware of. It seems that more and more of my visitors are coming with Firefox and other Mozilla varients. I can't blame them either with all the issues with IE and Active X and such. Even with iespell, they are without a spell checker option.
It's a shame that a very basic message board service like EZBoard is able to have this important feature and present it to their users, yet the best forum on the 'net is either incapable or unwilling to have this critical feature included for their loyal customers at this time.
I agree! Especially when you consider how much vB costs it should have basic features like a spellchecker included...
i dont have a use for a spell checker. there are words that would be flagged by it that may not be misspelled eg. center/centre both spellings are english. there are also other words that would be flagged because a spell checker cant check for transliteration. yes a spell checker would be nice but i wouldnt include it in the core package.
