Decent JS spellchecker?

[youradds]

Hi,

I'm looking for a decent JS/PHP (or even .cgi) spell checker that I can impliment on a textarea.

I already have one, but when I use it on a text-area - it seems to "remove" that text-area from the list of form fields (not quite sure of the mechanics of it). Its a shame as ait was a VERY cool AJAX one.

Without it - this works fine:

  if (document.edit.post_message.createTextRange && document.edit.post_message.cursorPosition) {
    var cursorPosition = document.edit.post_message.cursorPosition;
    cursorPosition.text = cursorPosition.text.charAt(cursorPosition.text.length - 1) == ' ' ? '[' + tag + '] ' : "[" + tag + "]";
  }
  else {
    document.edit.post_message.value += "[" + tag + "]";
  }
  document.edit.post_message.focus();
  return;

..but as soon as you add this into the TEXTAREA:

accesskey="/test2/spell_checker.php"

..it screws up, and gives fatal errors:

Error: document.edit.post_message is undefined

TIA

looking at

http://www.w3schools.com/htmldom/prop_anchor_accesskey.asp

the AccessKey parameter should only have one character as its value.

Can you post your FULL HTML source as well as a link to the spellchecker you are using at the moment ?

Hi,

Thanks for th reply. This is the script ;

http://www.activecampaign.com/activespell/

I'm accessing the script itself with:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/test2/css/spell_checker.css">
<script src="/test2/cpaint/cpaint2.inc.compressed.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/test2/js/spell_checker.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

(the rest seems to be done via the JS file, where it reads the textarea's, and converts them to be workable as a "spellchecker")

The code that doesn't wanna work, is:

<script language="Javascript">
function addTag(tag) {

/*
   alert($('post_message').val());
*/


  if (document.edit.post_message.createTextRange && document.edit.post_message.cursorPosition) {
    var cursorPosition = document.edit.post_message.cursorPosition;
    cursorPosition.text = cursorPosition.text.charAt(cursorPosition.text.length - 1) == ' ' ? '[' + tag + '] ' : "[" + tag + "]";
  }
  else {
    document.edit.post_message.value += "[" + tag + "]";
  }
  document.edit.post_message.focus();
  return;
}

function checkText(text) {
  if (text.createTextRange)
   text.cursorPosition = document.selection.createRange().duplicate();
  return true;
}


</script>

...and the textarea looks like:

<textarea title="spellcheck_icons" accesskey="/test2/spell_checker.php" name="post_message" id="spell" style="width: 400px; height: 150px;" />

I've got the "WebDeveloper" for FF, and when I via Forms > View Form Information, the post_message field dissapears (until I remove accesskey="/test2/spell_checker.php", but that obviously stops the spellchecker from working )

Cheers
