PHP 5.3 to drop Pspell extension
« on: April 01, 2009, 07:43:48 pm »
Grrr. They are replacing it with something called enchant? A library that is part of the Abiword project. I see no mention of a binary distribution.

Does IE have a built in spell checker yet?

I ask because there is no talk about using enchant instead of pspell over at simplemachines (and I won't say a word there, they get nothing, ask jay about my "spam" - pompous ar... I'd probably even consider writing the code to replace pspell with enchant in SMF, but noooo posting a record of anything there is considered spam, they do not actually want information... totally missed the wave...)

ancient history... anyway...

Be prepared for the Dynaverse.net forums to drop the built-in spell checker in the near future, and if IE8 does not have spell check, then start asking MS for it.

What would be cool is to develop an IE addon that leverages the rebust features of the MS Word dictionary.

Or a Firefox addon

In this article, we take a closer look at the new features of Internet Explorer 8.1, compare it with other browsers and share with you our first-hand experience with the browser. Overall the browser is faster, more flexible, more stable and also more secure and performs already much better than a recently released IE 8. One word sums up our experience with IE 8.1: Eagle Eyes is the browser that Internet Explorer should have brought on the market a long time ago - and now it’s finally here.

Firefox Extensions Support

Eagle Eyes’s most exciting (and highly anticipated by developers) feature is its wide support of Mozilla-based add-ons. Though IE 8.1 duly notes that not all plugins will work perfectly, we have tested four popular Firefox plugins (Firebug, Web Developer, Tab Mix Plus, and No-Script) and they worked flawlessly (some of the developers even claim that – in terms of performance – they work much better under IE 8.1 versus Firefox 3).
