    Are you using Firefox browser? The latest versions of Firefox have built-in spell checkers.

    To make it work in webforms too, follow these instructions:

    If it's not working for you, let me know and I could post a couple of screenshots.

    Triing it oot now.

    I followed the instructions - loved the "Here be Dragons" message but no red lines under the mis-spellings.

    And yes, I am running Firefox 3.0.11.

    Yes it is checked. So the problem lies elsewhere.

    I wonder if it could be a missing dictionary?

    Maybe try downloading the dictionary from here?
