I miss my iespell add-on for IE -- have you (or anyone) found a spell-check add-on for Firefox?

That is one of the things that I hate the worst. I have been using Mozilla for about a month now and would also like to know what spell check to use on Mozilla. I really like iespell but can't get it to work on Mozilla.

Spellbound

There are two different downloads:

Mozilla Suite

and

FireFox 1.0

Could this be where all the confusion comes from /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif ? G

OkeeDon · Dec 18, 2004

Mike, thanks. I think I installed it, now I'm checking to see if it works. I intenshunally misspelled a word.

Nope. The icon is in the toolbar, and it showed up as an active icon as soon as there was a text entry box on the screen, but when I clicked the icon, it said, "TypeError: dictList[0] has no properties." Then, it came up with a spell check pop-up, and said there were no errors. As far as I know, I installed both the extension and the dictionary.

Guess I'll fool with it later. That's one of the problems with this experimental stuff -- it takes too much time away from actually using the computer.. Back in my early guru days, while I was learning more about the early PCs than most other people knew (early '80's), I ate up this kind of thing. Then, I discovered that my friends were actually using their computers instead of fooling with them, and they were more successful than me.

OK..........been using Fire Fox for 24 hours. I've put it through it's paces and so far I have not needed any extensions or themes. It's worked flawlessly for me. Anyone considering it as an alternative to IE might want to take a second look, then download it.

JerryG · Dec 19, 2004

Thanks, Mike. The spell check works great on my Mozilla.

Thanks for the links Gerald!
It downloaded and appears to run okay.
I procrastinated trying it, but your link made it simple enough to give it a shot. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thanks for the nudge,

( I tried the tabs - hated it, because it took yet another row of screen real estate away from the subject site.)

That's why you right-click on that part of the screen, and choose to move them to the left or right of the window. I always minimize the area taken at the top or bottom of the screen, but there is plenty of room at the left or right because of the aspect ratio of the screen (it's wider when it really should be taller /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif)

Hi Don,

I am going to guess that the SpellBound extension now works for you in Firefox. Whenever you install an extension, you need to exit the browser, and then re-start the browser.

OkeeDon · Dec 19, 2004

Well, let's see. What should I misspell this time? How aboot thet?

Chek Speling.

Nope. Still not working. I installed the dictionary, but it's apparently not reading it for some reason - still getting the "has no properties" error message -- I assume it has no properties because it isn't there (or has never played Monopoly).

Actually, I knew about the "not installed until you restart", and had already done that when I got the error above.

I'm going to have to go back and reinstall the dictionary.

OkeeDon · Dec 19, 2004

OK. Dictionary now installed. Try again. Worked pretty good.

Yep! Fixed now. As good as ieSpell. I probably won't go back to IE except for dire need.

DaveNay · Dec 19, 2004

( Yep! Fixed now.)

Good deal! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Just installed it myself. Worked fine while I checked the spelling for this post.
"?". Do you always have to click on the icon to check your spelling or can it do it automatically? G

daedong · Dec 20, 2004

Don,

Don't forget GareyD's post about IE conection with the right click, this makes it very easy to open things in IE if need be.

ronjhall · Dec 20, 2004

Downloaded and installed Mozilla Suite this morning.
So far it has worked great. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

JerryG · Dec 20, 2004

I am more than likely telling something that everyone knows, but I will say it anyway. If you are using Mozilla, you can click on the rough looking area to the left of the tool bars and that will hid them. That free a lot of screen space.
