We are designing a client/server system to replace a legacy terminal based
system. I would give my eye teeth (whatever they are) to be able to invoke the
mail reader's spell checker from a textarea in the browser, via javascript.

there is a bug in m20 - 16409, that this is probably a dup of -- Kin, you may
want to review that one.
Moving all non-beta1 bugs to M16 since I am going on sabbatical.

This definitely looks like a dup of Bug #16409.
Comment 13•24 years ago
|
||
this is to be able to check one form element at a time (at least that's my
reading); bug #16409 is for checking all form elements on one page

This would be useful even if the spellchecker only underlined mispelled words
(as many word processors do). If that's substantially easier, it would make a
great first step.
The ability to check spelling would eliminate a lot of emberrasing mispellins
that we all see too often.

Any idea how much time / cost it would take to do this?
It would really be a great new feature now that spellcheck is in the trunk.

Bug 302050 is Firefox specific. Are you sure that the fix made it's way to SeaMonkey? If not, then this bug shouldn't be resolved, as it targets core (both browsers).
Comment 22•18 years ago

As peer my comment in bug 16409, this capability not exists in core, and the saemonkey people can enable it if they want without too much work. Seamonkey doesn't have to use it for the core bug to be fixed.

Filed SeaMonkey specific bug 338319 as follow-up.

Are we missing something,
I see spellcheck on TEXTAREA and INPUT field,
But NOT for design mode text in midasdemo
( http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/ )
Now more and more sites are now using design mode
