IE 8 Add On

[Mitch656]

I was just wondering if there is an Add on for IE8.

Im a really bad speller, so i was wondering if there is an add on for IE8 that checks my spelling as i write, just like firefox and word.

I've tryed 2 add on but they dont check as i type

Try this Mitch, ieSpell - Spell Checker add-on for Internet Explorer.
ieSpell is a free Internet Explorer browser extension that spell checks text input boxes on a webpage.

Hope this helps.

Mitch656,
There is a free Microsoft IE Spell check browser extension for IE8.
Let us know how it goes if you decide to install it.

I'm unsure what you mean.
Please supply more details.

The program installs as a new button in the IE toolbar (as well as a new menu item under "Tools") - after filling in a form, just hit the ieSpell button and it pops up a dialog, similar to the MS Word spell check.

Hope this helps.

I think he is looking for on the fly spell checking like in Firefox

Well i use Firefox, but feel like using IE but i dont know why

When i use Firefox, i could be writting a blog or something even writting in here, and as a i write, it automatically checks fore miss spelt words. i wouldent have to open anything. Its Like the way word does its spell checking aswell

Yep!

Sorry Mitch but I can't seem to find an "on the fly" checker for you. I'll keep looking and let you know if I come up with anything.

Doesn't IE7Pro (which also works on IE 8) have something like this?

It works with IE 8

The spell checker works on all message boards (for me) except this one. I'm not sure why tho'

No it does not work properly with IE8 contrary to what the IE7pro groupies say in their forum. It fixed the status bar icon issue for IE8 and that's about it. Some, maybe half of the addons will work properly. As to whether the spellchecker is one that does, I don't remember. I do know that if you install it, you better disable the components that will not work properly.

99% of it works (well what I use of it) inc the Spellchecker be it IE8 in Vista or Win7.

Disable the Crash Recovery as IE8 has it and both enabled can be a PIA.
