I had the exact same situation as you, so I'm in the process of attempting it now (versions 0.1 and 0.2 released so far)... The one I built that uses a lot of client side Javascript (therefore requires IE5+ or NS6) and a call to XML-RPC service on a server. It's called XSpell, and you can find the demo at: http://www.northern.ca/projects/xspell/ And D/L the source off sourceforge at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xspell/ Note: You need to build pspell support into PHP for the XML-RPC service to work. -Ironstorm Northern.CA ===-- http://www.northern.ca Canada's Search Engine
