Spellchecker for VB3

[Sam FT]

There are several different spell checker hacks for vb2. But I wishing someone would create a spell checker for vb3. I know with the WYSIWYG, I don't know if that creates a problem. But I like to see one create since it was really cool to have for vb2.

Anyone?

Instead of hacking it into my board I recommend http://www.iespell.com/ to my users. It's a free plug-in for Internet Explorer that's fully customizable by the user. That way it's not affected by board upgrades or hacks, doesn't draw site resources, is generally faster, and is not limited to just the forum but works for any text entry fileds in the browser... forums, submission forms, webmail, etc. Been using it for 6 months now and will use it over any built in spell check options now simply for the speed and ease. You can either right click or add a button to the IE tool bar.

Going to post something here to grant it some (re)visibility. There are several decent GPL spellcheckers out there (phpSpell is a good example) but the developers aren't too interested in catering to VB because they are forced to buy a license to figure out how to integrate and support it, and meantime they're all running other boards (like phpBB or IPB) where it works already.

We really need to look into this. From what I can see by reviewing the numerous replies and discussions, is VB3's WYSIWYG editor is the primary bottleneck. All I know is, this is a perpetually recurring topic. Whomever manages to figure it out is destined for fame and fortune .

An obvious solution might be for a few of us to pitch in and buy one of these guys a VB license. Right now they simply won't code for VB because they're forced to do it blindly.
