Spellcheck and firefox

[Simon N]

Anyone know off the top of their head why when using the spellchecker in firefox for my site it tries to download the phpspell.html file ????

It works fine here.

[IntegraMOD]

Silly question but have u installed the dictionary files

[Simon N]

Yes mate have installed the dictionary files.

It works fine in IE7beta but in Firefox it tries to download the spellcheck.html file.

I've seen that happen before elsewhere, but I have no idea what causes it, or how to fix it. <img>

[Simon N]

Ah well if you do find out please let me know.

Until then I think I shall just hide the spell check button to Firefox users...seems the simplest way.

[Jason Sanborn]

Is it everyone who uses Firefox? From what I have seen of that issue before, it was related to a specific user's browser, and not every one.

[Simon N]

seems to be everyone....thus far. Trying to get my members to test anythign is a nightmare.

[Jason Sanborn]

I use Firefox, I'm going to sign up on your site and see if it happens to me. <img>

Appreciate that...ignore any other bugs and changes, had a "friend" try and change some bits and pieces so in process of putting them all back.

[Jason Sanborn]

It happens for me as well. You say a "friend" was making changes. Do you know what he had been changing?

is where i tried it

[Simon N]

That was my sarcasm... the friend was supposed to help with theme issues and compatability in IE7 but only succeeded in deleting large chunks of theme data. I have most of it back now and nothign that would effect the spell checker.

Also spellchecker works in IE7 so its not a case of broken spellchecker.

Appreciate you guys trying it; now I know for sure its a FF issue.

[Jason Sanborn]

I have zipped a working copy of the spell check mod from IM140 (minus the dictionary files).

Maybe if you replace yours with these, it might work?

[Jason Sanborn]

As always, back up your old files, just in case. <img>

[Simon N]

Thank you appreciate that.

First I am reuploading and installign fisubice to see if its a template issue. If no joy there then will try and reupload the files.

[Simon N]

Nope no joy.

Same thing happens. I must be missing something somewhere. Where else are there spelling check related files?

[Simon N]

opera does the same too...guess there is something wrong with the code for opening the spell checker.

[Jason Sanborn]

I'm wondering if there could be a misconfiguration on the server? Mime type problems perhaps? I'm afraid at this point I don't have any other ideas.

I am thinking you are correct and that the spell check is more hassle than I have time for. Back to plan B of making the button only show for IE users.

Wow this will be a first for me; only supporting IE
