I think this is in your browser. There is a setting in configs to turn it off or select the language. For example in Opera it is:

type: opera:config in the address bar >> User Prefs >> Spellcheck: enable by default on/off #or# Last used spellcheck language = [cz]

Then on webforms with text entry the spellchecker will operate, or not, and in the language of your choice.

So I find this ironic. I cant get the spell check to work in ECF. So if I'm not sure about a word I copy it to a open word document that I keep open all the time just for this purpose. Did I mention I'm pc illiterate? Why does that icon w the abc and green check mark, not spell check for me?

because if you are using IE you might need to right click on the text box and select check spelling

Yes I suppose that info would of been helpfull... Win 7 w/ IE. It worked I just r clicked and what do ya know there it was, "check spelling". Thank you gents. Over 1000 posts you'd think I would of figured that out by now.

Oldsoldier, remember the question about getting double notifications in my email inbox. (cuz you dont have anything else to do except cater to my personal forum issues), you said try unsubscribing then re subscribing. It didnt work. I am getting double emails on about 50% of messages. Its no big deal, but if you guys have another of those handy dandy fixes, I could use another one.
TIA

Hey Mac guys are okay in my book. They are just Linux guys that haven't realized it yet.

Yeh, you're right...except that technically it's BSD under the Apple hood. ;)

Noticed ECF uses RHEL. Man, that takes me back when I was Beta testing using RH9 with Virtuozzo VPS...on the Titanic of the hosting world; Eryxma Networks.

Eesh, that sucked a lot :D
