Actually, Genomon, the person whom you quote is employing a form of relaxation to resolve their SQL challenge:
Mufasa's Alternate-Universe Dictionary said:
Main Entry: struggleing
Pronunciation: \?str?g ?l?-i?\
Function: verbal form
Etymology: from Kari Strug, an Olympic gold medalist + Hawaiian lei
Date: 2004

The act of placing a wreath or necklace of flowers or leaves around the neck of Olympic gold-medal gymast, Kari Strug.

So, see...the person was making a very valid assertion. <grin>

> Or perhaps just struggling with what that red wavy line under the word means

genomon... you have a spell checker when posting in tek-tips??? Because, I'm looking for that red wavy line and not seeing it!

-> I'm looking for that red wavy line and not seeing it!

Use firefox. Spellchecker built in. I think the newer IE versions also have a plugin option for spellchecker.

Google Toolbar has a built-in spell checker (but it's not automatic; you have to remember to click on it every time).

I think Google Chrome also has a red-squiggly-line type checker.

I love my red squiggly lines in SeaMonkey ( the techie's version of FireFox). Now if it could just show the red squiggly line when I'm about to post something stupid.... [blush]

Yea, I try to avoid toolbars/plugins like that whenever possible, but a spell-checker... as long as it doesnt slow things down (which is why I avoid them)... would be nice. I may try the one for Firefox.

And jebenson, I think all of us have wished for an "Edit Post" button for that situation!

To be clear - there is not addin/plugin required for firefox. Spell-checking is built in. I'm pretty sure it's the same with Chrome.

anotherhiggins - I'm at work, where I don't have Chrome (it's on my Vista laptop, in case IE7 freezes, which is happening more often). I'm sure I noticed this in Chrome, and I have added nothing to it. I'll check when I get home.

Yikes!!! "Red wavy lines" have hijacked Genomon's thread...Sorry, Genomon. Can I propose a separate thread for discussing Chrome, Firefox, IE7, et cetera?

I have Chrome installed on my work laptop. I was going to test it before my last post, but it doesn't want to play with the firewall.

ieSpell is the plugin for IE7 (at least I have 7 - I can't remember if I had it in 6). But it does require a right click in the text field and selecting "check spelling".

I like the Firefox one better - it just checks and lets me know with the red underline. But I can't use FF at work so I use it at home.

(I shouldn't say I "can't" use FF - I am certainly allowed to - but I have to use IE for some internal sites anyway and it's just a pain to keep switching back and forth)

I didn't even realize it was my Firefox - thought it was a site feature.

genomon: [lol]

And now that I upgraded from 1.5 to a version of Firefox made in this millenium, I get red squiggly lines under my typos too!

And the first typo it caught... millenium millennium!

Now using Google Chrome. The red squiggly lines are there when I spell something wrong.

Just upgraded to Firefox 3.06 and it's ketching my mistaikes left and write, er rite, .... okay, it found no wrong with write or rite, but they're correctly spelled.

Cool feature - my IE doesn't have it. Guess I'd better use Firefox for Tek-Tips. Wouldn't want someone to start a thread on my screwups... [smile]

You know, we're getting to a point where we've got a new generation of coders coming up who really can't spell.

Of course, I see the trend in a lot of things.... I'm dismayed every time I see a mis-spelled sign, or a backwards "N" at a business.

But I guess it's only a matter of time before someone misses something serious in code, and we have to click on the "Fiel" menu of that new piece of software. <Sigh>

I once worked with a programmer for whom English was not a first language.

He once delivered me a new screen with two buttons. One had the caption 'Review' and one 'Updation'.

Maybe updation really ought to be a word!

Yes, I had a similar experience once: A user wanted to transpose figures on a screen, and he requested that we do some transfiguration. (I wonder if that's how Christ did it. &lt;grin&gt;)
