For Mog, With Love.

ieSpell is a free Internet Explorer browser extension that spell checks text input boxes on a webpage. It should come in particularly handy for users who do a lot of web-based text entry (e.g. web mails, forums, blogs, diaries). Even if your web application already includes spell checking functionality, you might still want to install this utility because it is definitely much faster than a server-side solution. Plus you get to store and use your personal word list across all your applications, instead of maintaining separate ones on each application.

The program installs as a new button in the IE toolbar (as well as a new menu item under “Tools”)

    Just wanted to say I’ve been using this prog for about a month and it is a godsend! I can spell check like anything, weblog posts, web email, this comment I’m writing :mrgreen:

    Thanks for the thought but I use Safari. Best option for me would be to use OmniWeb when I’m really ataxic cause it has built in spell check. Yes, I type ataxic just like I walk ataxic.

    And why can’t I use it you might ask? Minimum system requirements:Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP I’m using Mac OS X 10.3.5.:mrgreen:
