Spellchecker for WYSIWYG editor, Firefox 2.0 · **Released**: 10-29-2006

The new version of Firefox 2.0 has a spellchecker already build in.

Great isn't it? Too bad it doesn't work with the WYSIWYG editor which comes with vB.

Scott has posted the code to make it work and I would like to present it to you so that you can take advantage of it.

All work was done by Scott MacVicar, I am just re-posting it here so that it doesn't get lost in all the posts at vbulletin.com.

Instructions are simple.

Just open the file clientscript/vbulletin_textedit.js

Find:

Code:

if (doinit) { this.editdoc.body.contentEditable = true; }

below it add:

Code:

this.editdoc.body.spellcheck = true;

You are done!

This is already included in the version running at vbulletin.com and the next version of vBulletin will have it also included.

Spellchecker doesn't seem to have a problem for me using firefox 2.0? I just installed 2.0 went to my site, typed in some misspelled words, and it fixed them all.

I upgraded my Firefox to 2.0 right after reading this.

As soon as I started typing a post at my site, and misspelled a word, it underlined it and a right click let me pick the proper word.

Wow thanks man!

i made this simple addition to the template and nothing seems to be happening. I see no referencve to a spell check in the wysiwyg and i typed in a few misspelled words and it did not auto correct them.

I am using firefox 2.0. DO I have to turn on something in firefox itself to make this work?

Hey, MrNase - thanks for that. Firefox rocks and this new spell check feature in v2 really does it for me. I use vbspell on my forum, which has been a bit problematic, but now there is a much better option. Hopefully when everyone moves to firefox, I can deinstall this mod.
