Inline AJAX spellchecker

[youradds]

Hi,

I've *finally* (after hours of searching) found a decent looking Spellchecker, which utalizes google's spell checking tools.

However, I can't get it to work :/

http://ultradev.com.nmsrv.com/test/new/demo.html

The script is from:

http://orangoo.com/labs/GoogieSpell/Documentation/

All I've done, is upload version 3.97 (tried version 4, but get same issues)

Basically, when I press the "spellcheck" button, it comes up with an alert box, saying:

>>An error was encounted with the server. Please try again later.<<

I've done a search on google, to see if anyone else has had this issue - and it looks like some people have. However, their fixes just seemed to be updating to the latest .js files - which I've tried :/

In IE 8, I get this error:

Webpage error details

I don't get any JS errors in FF 3.

Anyone got any pointers, or better yet - another AJAX script that works? Ideally, I need one that will work with a WYSIWYG editor, as well as a plain text one)

TIA

Andy

Without doing any research or looking into the problem or your code at all, my gut hunch from the 'access denied' error message is that you have a cross-domain issue.

Perhaps you're including the script from their site, but using it on your own instead of copying their files locally?

Are there any cross-domain issues in play, or is my gut hunch wrong?

Hi,

Thanks for the reply

Mmm, all the script looks like its calling from my end:

<script type="text/javascript" src="googiespell/AJS.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="googiespell/googiespell.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="googiespell/cookiesupport.js"></script>
<link href="googiespell/googiespell.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />


Cheers

Andy

As this works in FF and not in IE it will be a little harder to debug, assuming that the error line shown is correct, the issue seems to be around :

        req.open(type, url, true);

suggest you put some alerts in the code to see what is going on in that function.

Hi,

It doesn't work in IE or FF =) (just in FF, I get no error message, and get that popup alert)

Cheers

Actually, Firefox does throw an error (click Tools -> Error Console to see it):

Security Error: Content at

http://ultradev.com.nmsrv.com/test/new/demo.html

may not load data from

https://www.google.com/tbproxy/spell?lang=en.

I guess my hunch was right!

Hi,

Ok, kinda getting somewhere =)

I now have this system setup (this is just the demo, from the file I downloaded);

http://ultradev.com.nmsrv.com/speller/

From here, it opens a popup - which then lets you go through ALL the mis-spelled words.

Now, the problem I seem to be having - is invoking it (cos again, its not a bloomin textarea - but a IFRAME)

I'm calling it with:

'<span id="link" title="Link Div" onclick="<%--openSpellChecker(this);--%>alert(document.getElementsByTagName(\'editor_iframe\'))" class="tb_menu_item">\n' +
' <img id="linkImage" title="Link" class="tb_icon" src="/test2/images/spellcheck.png" alt="Spell Check"></img>\n' +
'</span>\n' +

..and then this in the header :

<script src="/spellchecker/spellChecker.js"></script>

<script>
//
// openSpellChecker()
//
// this function is an example that illustrates the various ways you can invoke
// the the Speller Pages spell-checking process
//

function openSpellChecker(thisform) {

// example 1.
// Pass in the text inputs or textarea inputs that you
// want to spell-check to the object's constructor,
// then call the openChecker() method.
var textarea1 = thisform;
var speller = new spellChecker( text1, textarea1 );
speller.openChecker();

// example 2.
// Rather than passing in the form elements to the object's
// constructor, populate the object's textInputs property,
// then call the openChecker() method.
/*
var speller = new spellChecker();
var spellerInputs = new Array();
for( var i = 0 ; i < document.form1.elements.length; i++ ) {
if( document.form1.elements.type.match( /^text/ )) {
spellerInputs[spellerInputs.length] = document.form1.elements;
}
}
speller.textInputs = spellerInputs;
speller.openChecker();
*/

// example 3.
// use the spellCheckAll() method to check every text input
// and textarea input in every form in the HTML document.
// You can also use the checkTextBoxes() method or checkTextAreas()
// method instead of spellCheckAll() to check only text inputs
// or textarea inputs, respectively
/*
var speller = new spellChecker();
speller.spellCheckAll();
*/
}

</script>


The problem is, I get an error about "form1" not being defined - which makes sense, as its not a form

What I've been trying to do - is grab the WHOLE contents of the "iframe", and then passing that :/

You can see it running here:

http://ultradev.com.nmsrv.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_write;forum=1=Post+New

(andytest/andytest) .. click the little button that has an "abc" on it - thats the one I'm trying to get working)

If anyone can suggest stuff, I'm all ears. I'm at my wits end with this blooming spellchecking stuff :|

TIA

Andy
