Using Speller Pages

Speller pages is really easy to integrate into your site. It's ideal for Web mail programs, message board software or Web-based content management systems - anywhere it would be handy to check the spelling of words contained in one or more HTML text inputs. All you have to do to use Speller Pages is copy the server script, HTML and JavaScript files to your Web server, and then add a little bit of JavaScript code to the HTML page that contains the input you want to have checked for spelling. Go ahead and view the HTML source of the demo page to see how simple it is; it's basically just a couple lines of code that need to be executed when you hit the "check spelling" button:

...

<!-- Source the JavaScript spellChecker object -->
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="spellChecker.js">
</script>

<!-- Call a function like this to handle the spell check command -->
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function openSpellChecker() {
	// get the textarea we're going to check
	var txt = document.myform.mytextarea;
	// give the spellChecker object a reference to our textarea
	// pass any number of text objects as arguments to the constructor:
	var speller = new spellChecker( txt );
	// kick it off
	speller.openChecker();
}
</script>
