That's what I use. However, when your "constituents" view through AOL, IE 6 or Safari... they don't have that luxury. So, a spell checker would be useful.
IE 6? The more reason we as web developers give for the public to switch to a standard compliant browser (or IE 7 at the very least) the better. Its a daily pain for me to hack webpage designs to work in IE 6.
Safari.. well I have seen issues with that browsers as well. behaving odd indeed. and if you are already in the non-explorer world. Why not go all the way and use firefox? (No I dont work for mozilla, but my idea of utopia these days is a world where every user in the world uses it (or at least a browser that shows web in the same way).
I love creating webpages, but complying to other browsers is just painful enough that I might start doing something else.
If you use Opera on Windows or Linux, you have to install the spell checker separately (automagic on Mac), so there's a few more people who might not have a spell checker themselves. Anyway, IE7 doesn't have built-in spell checking either (does it?).
I have a suggested change to line 28 in default.php of SpellChecker. It should be changed to read like this. if ((in_array($Context->SelfUrl, array("comments.php", "post.php"))) &&
(!$Context->Session->User->Preference('VisualEditing'))) What this will do is disable the spell checker for any users who have fckeditor enabled. Since this extension doesn't work with fckeditor, it should not appear for users who are using the wysiwyg. However, this change will allow users who choose not to use fckeditor, even if the forum has it available, to take advantage of the spell checker extension if it is installed.
Currently running vanilla 1.1.2 and recently switched to a new server - it was working fine on the old one. Now when I check spelling - it say "no spelling errors found" when there obviously are errors.
Any ideas?

Safari has spellcheck, just like Firefox. Underlines words in red and everything.
I am having the same problems as jross. It tells me that there are no errors when I purposely miss typed things to test it. Any help would be appreciated.

also, what guy said about other browsers.
