Default Spell Check for 1.5.0.8


Anyone know of a Spell Checker that can be used for checking forms in IE
and Firefox or any other browser as well and as a bonus can also be used
with OE? I have Spell Checker for OE, but, in US English not UK English
and iespell for IE and have used a very fiddley one for Firefox, A Spell,
but, would love to simplify it with one universal one that will spell
check anything that can be spell checked.

If no one knows of one, is there a better one than A Spell? Most spell
checkers for FF seem to be for v2.0 now.

Won't 2.0 run on your machine?

Well, no one is going to be developing much of anything for the 1.5
branch now. The only real answer is to go for 2.0.

Why are you waiting? Maybe your [roblems with 2.0 have been addressed.

Sure, but, after trying it when it came out and experiencing some
instability with it I reverted back to 1.5.0.8 and intend to stick with
this very stable version until support for it ends by which time most
issues should be cleared up in 2.0

It's not so much that no one is developing extensions for 1.5, it's that
links to extensions that were available for 1.5 seem to be no longer there.

As for 2.0 see previous answer. I'm in no rush considering 1.5.0.8 seems
to have no issues and is still supported at present. Anyway, I know I can
go down that route, but, that is not the question I am asking. I remember
seeing advice here about what I am asking, but, can no longer find it.

Great, it seems to work OK except for "spell as you type", but, I noticed
other people mentioning that too. Then I don't like that feature and
would have probably turned it off. Got an English UK dictionary too

I was looking for spellbound the other week, but, kept coming across dead
links.
