Thanks a lot. I did not know about that “about:config” you can type in firefox address bar. But i am glad i know now. I taught i have to write out some code by myself to enable automatic spell check in input fields, but it’s solved now.

Thanks again!

Awesome Tip. Thanks for sharing. I was getting tired of right-clicking to spell check input fields.

Does it do this by itself in Firefox 3?

You can also simply right-click text fields that you want to check and select “spell check this field”.

Hmm, I just did that and it was already set to 2. and it doesn’t spellcheck. Well, it does down here, but not up in the toolbar . . . PC, Windows 2000, whatever the latest firefox on their site is (wiped my computer a couple days ago (ouch) but techie hubby tried lots o stuff first, over a period of time).

I found that using this option can lag the browser on some computers if there are a lot of textfields on one page; although, I haven’t tested it in a while, so it is possible it has changed since then.

Hey thanks for that… been putting off upgrading to 2 because I’d noticed that the spellcheck only covered the textarea on another computer, and my extension checked em all…

But I bit the bullet and did it, so you just saved me from ripping out my hair.
