There is ieSpell for Internet Explorer
Now there is SpellBound for Firefox: http://spellbound.sourceforge.net
I don't think it supports invoking the spellchecker via a button like you can with ieSpell yet. At least I couldn't find anything mentioning it. |

Oh man. I forgot to have posted about it here. 
Yeah, I have been using SpellBound for quite a bit now. A very handy tool and loving it. All you need to do is right click in the form you are typing your message and select "Check Spelling". It loads very quickly.
I have had no problems with it so far and have no complaints. Recommend it to all firefox users who post a lot.  |

another Firefox (Preview Release) related feature... I added the following to the header of this forum:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="http://forum.snitz.com/forum/rssfeed.asp" title="Active Topics on Snitz Forums 2000"> so you should see the "RSS" button in the lower right hand corner of the browser window. |

| That works only for Firefox Preview Release. Older versions of Firefox don't support RSS feeds. |

What happens if there are more than two feeds at once? Just keep adding more link tags?
I'm impressed Richard is on top of this! I wondered about this today too! |

| rssfeed.asp pulls the data directly from the database just like active.asp does. It should always be current with the last 15 active topics (hidden/protected forums aren't included). |

| Oh? So I would need to refresh my Live Bookmark to get the latest active topics? |

I think so. You just need to right click on the Live Bookmark in your Bookmarks list and choose "Refresh Live Bookmark".

| The Live Bookmarks should also update each time you open Firefox. |

There is a new version of SpellBound available. (0.7.1), they have added the ability to invoke the spellchecker using a button on the webpage (much like ieSpell), I haven't really looked at how it's done yet though.
Ideally, the Spellcheck MOD that we use on this site would differentiate between IE and Firefox/Mozilla, and display a button specific for each. If anyone wants to take a stab at it, feel free to. I'm going to look into it also and see what I can come up with, but it won't be anytime soon. |

I was wondering if we could use this to customize an invoke button:

There is an example shown here:
http://spellbound.sourceforge.net/faq#q02
In the source of the page, they have this (in the page <head></head> section):
<script type="text/javascript"><!--//--><![CDATA[//><!--
function focusChange(evt) {
if (typeof evt.originalTarget == "undefined") {
document.getElementById("spellboundSC_btn").disabled = false;
} else if (!evt.originalTarget.hasAttribute
|| !evt.originalTarget.hasAttribute("id")
|| evt.originalTarget.hasAttribute("id")
&& evt.originalTarget.getAttribute("id") != "spellboundSC_btn") {
document.getElementById("spellboundSC_btn").disabled = true;
}
}
window.addEventListener("focus",focusChange,false);
//--><!]]></script>
and to show the button they use this:
<input type="text" name="testinput" class="testelems" size="1"
onfocus="focusChange(this);" value="This is an HTML input element" alt="HTML input element" /><br /><br />
<textarea name="testtext" class="testelems" cols="1"
onfocus="focusChange(this);"
rows="3">This is an HTML textarea element. If you had SpellBound installed you would be able to spell check this text.</textarea>
<br />
<input id="spellboundSC_btn"
onclick="alert('You need SpellBound installed to spell check using this button.\n\nhttp://spellbound.sourceforge.net/');"
disabled="true" type="button" value="Spell Check" title="Spell check with SpellBound" />
not really ideal because you have to add the onfocus="focusChange(this);" to each element that you want to be able to spellcheck. And it only will check the element that currently has focus. |
