I'm curious what people use for spell checking forms within the browser?

These are some that I found for Windows but what about Linux?

http://www.iespell.com/
http://www.megspace.com/computers/tinyspell/

The spell checker for Mozilla seems to only be for email and composer. Which is a great start but I'd like it for the forms. I installed this on my Mozilla 1.3 version but haven't used it yet.

Also, I tend to use the following online but it would be helpful to fill out a post in here with a spell checker.

http://www.webster.com

http://labs.google.com/glossary

or simply type something into the google search engine and it might correct it.

GNOME has a great dictionary that you can keep open. When in doubt use it.

How come were posting windoze links here?

Never the less that's a good point, I'd like a spell checker for the forums also.

He was using them as examples for what is possible and missing in Linux browsers.

Yes, for example, ieSpell is a great way for Internet Explorer users to check their spelling. It installs as part of the Tools menu as well as is available in the right-click menu.
