Want to add a Spellchecker to your browser?
This handy little piece of code will spell check your typing in any text box on the internet. I used to have to copy text to MS Word[b]**[/b] to spell check stuff on the Net, but not anymore!
To use it, create a text document containing the following text:
[b]
oShell= new
ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
oShell.SendKeys( "^c" ); //copy
oWord=new ActiveXObject("Word.Application");
oWord.Visible= true;
oWord.Documents.Add();
oWord.Selection.Paste();
oWord.ActiveDocument.CheckSpelling();
oWord.Selection.WholeStory();
oWord.Selection.Copy();
oWord.ActiveDocument.Close(0);
oWord.Quit();
var nRet= oShell.Popup( "Apply changes?\nClick OK to replace all selected text.", 0, "Spell Check Complete", 33 );
if ( nRet == 1 ) {
oShell.SendKeys( "^v"); // paste
}
[/b]
Save this file as "Spellcheck.js" and place this .js script file in your Windows\Temp folder.
Create a shortcut to this script file on your IE explorer bar where links go. Rename the shortcut to "Spellchecker".
Now you are ready to rock.
[red]TO USE:
Highlight the text in your post, and hit the shortcut.
[/red]
The script will automatically paste the text into MS Word, spell check it (with your help), and copy it back to your post.
[b]**You must have MS Word installed for this script to work![/b]
