@Dan Hey! I was the W3C ruled by microsoft guy, and I got to say that I was an idiot, actually I’ve been using firefox and I just love it, i’ve been able to do a lot of things with it, and sorry for the crap I said, I really retract that, I would delete my comment if I could. Regards

@Hanne Sena, “I don’t know why they have decided one can make a typo only in text areas” – because in text areas people often type their name, address etc., which most of the time are not in the Firefox dictionary.

@ the IE user who said W3C is ruled by Microsoft: you are an idiot, sir.

[...] Since I am writing about the spell check in Firefox I will also highlight a really useful tip! Firefox does not by default spell check text in text fields (single line text boxes). However, this can easily be changed as described in either Quick Tip: Spell Check Firefox Text Input Fields or How to Enable Spell Check in Text Fields in Firefox. [...]

I found the solution! I’m using firefox 3.0.5 for mac 10.5.6, and I had installed the all-in-one gestures add on. This add on disabled the ability to see the correct spelling suggestions. On another forum a poster suggested using the mouse gestures add on instead of all-in-one gestures. I installed that instead, and I’m finally seeing correct spelling suggestions!

Yay!

I might be a complete idiot here, but this spell check only seems to help with half the problem. Okay, so I type in an incorrectly spelled word, and this shows me that it’s incorrectly spelled, but then, I assume that when I right-click the word the context menu will show me a suggestion of the correctly spelled word, but for me it doesn’t. It simply shows that the word is misspelled, but it doesn’t give you a suggestion.

Am I seeing that correctly?

Can you suggest something that will not only tell me I’ve misspelled a word, but also give me a suggestion as to the correct spelling?
