Hitcher will love this. Firefox 2.0 comes with built in spell checker so people making spelling mistakes on Kiwibiker will shortly become a thing of the past

Only real bug I have found is clicking a link in a page occasionaly returns it to the top of the page and you have to go back down and click it again.
Work slow today?

Hm. It doesn't seem to work. I downloaded the beta and tried it, by entering some deliberately mis-spelled words, and it didn't pick them up at all.
Other quite correctly spelled words it complained about.

Make sure you install the UK version or they'll be H.E.L.L. (Hitcher's Evil Leather Lash) to pay.

I downloaded the zipped version of Portable Firefox 2.0rc2. The spell checker worked right out of the box. Most incorrectly spelt words were picked up and get a red wiggle line underneath them.

So why then, does it NOT red line garage (mis-spelling of gargre), park (should be prak), cruiser (should be crusier). It does red line sportsbike, but also (incorrectly ) redlines the correct spelling. We need a KB version. Well, it is open source, after all .

Looks like it might be on automatically for all form pages, i.e. for textarea boxes where you type a new post in.
You can find the British English Dictionary here.

Snorts contemptuously. Microsoft Wrod has got a built-in spell checker. It puts wiggly red lines under things it is unsure of. Do people take one blind bit of notice? No. And the poor maligned apostrophe, what about its rights in this TXT world gone mad? And what about people who use the wrong word, even though it may be spelt write?
And as for "American English"... Any country that pixelates out glimpses of butt crack and has coined the word "ass" because an arse is too vulgar and impolite for god-fearing folk to utter, doesn't deserve to be taken seriously. It's pronounced al-u-min-i-um, you dorks!
Either people care or they don't. The BDOTGNZA will fight valiantly onwards!
