AJAX Spell Check 0.2 – UPDATE

As mentioned in yesterday’s post, I launched one of my most proud of PHP scripts, the AJAX spell checker. It wasn’t all that accurate, however, 0.2 is much much more accurate.

UPDATE: Apparently this script does not work in the latest version of Firefox. This is because of Firefox’s Checkback bug.

Download: spell_check-0.2.zip (need winzip?)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Unzip the file to a directory on your hard drive.
  2. Change the mysql_connect to your username, password and database name along with your host (most likely it won’t need changed) within this file: spell_checker.php
  3. Login to phpMyAdmin (or control panel of your database) and upload dictionary.zip within the sql.
  4. Upload remaining files (except instructions_credits_gpl.txt).

Contents:

spell_checker.css

spell_check.gif

spell_check.js

example.php

spell_checker.php

instructions_credits_gpl.txt

dictionary.zip

Since this is a free script, please place a link to either http://impnerd.com/ or http://www.poemofquotes.com/ or this page if you enjoy the script.

    Hey this is really nice..good job…I was wondering if there was a way to have it display the suggested words in a pop window and ignore html tags?
