Spell Checker in Ie8?

_Jimlad_ · 1 Jun 2009 at 09:25

not really a big user of ie, prefer firefox but the buggers at work have blocked that and chrome

on ie8 now and my spelling is as bad as ever, anything good out there google seems to say something about accelerators

On a side note, have you tried Firefox Portable?

_Jimlad_ · 1 Jun 2009 at 09:48

no not yet, i think i would have same issue, as i'm a local admin on my pc and can install firefox but it fails to work on the web anymore

Weird! How does one go about blocking a specific web browser? As that is presumably what has happened?!

The linky doesn't work for some reason, but googling Get Routing Script and hunting yields some info, cheers

thats the script we have in ie8 if it's entered in any other browser it won't work

Hi my name’s Feran and I am working with the Internet Explorer Outreach Team to help provide assistance to folks about their Internet Explorer.

Along with ieSpell there are tons of other cool add-ons in IE8 like Google Define, weather and map accelerators and web slices etc. You can check them all out here if interested: http://www.ieaddons.com/en/

Hope this is useful!
