Dear colleagues,
I need help in my - futile so far - effort to put a server-side spellchecker in Domino web applications.
I’ve explored the following:
- Tap into iNotes (dwa) spell checker.
Seems like the most natural solution.
However, iNotes looks like purposefully designed to make this as hard as possible.
I found a demo here:
http://thehojusaram.blogspot.com/2006/09/using-inotes-spell-checker-in-your-own.html
but was unable to adapt it.
Problem is, it uses a pure HTML page, not a form, and calling the spell check submits the form.
- Send it to Google/Googiespell
Quite easy to implement, but out of question for a corporate intranet - for obvious reasons.
- Create a MS Word object and call its spellcheck
Lots of problems here (has to run on the server or requires AtciveX, eats up resources, etc.)
- JSpell
Among the few that claim Domino compatibility;
Reasonable price ($370);
A video clip here http://www.thesolutioncafe.com/docs/jspellEvolutionDominoInstallation.avi
clearly shows easy-to-install Domino version, but it’s nowhere to be downloaded.
I got their trial version, but it’s too much trouble to install (poorly documented, requires additional JSP-capable server, etc.)
No help from The Solution Cafe; Nobody answers the phone, no response to my emails.
May be there is some lethal disease outbreak down in Florida… Should I call 911 and have somebody check their office out?
- ieSpell (and the likes)
Runs on IE only;
Requires client-side installation;
The license for 1,000 users costs $3,580 (my company is very strict on licensing…)
Besides, I’d like spell-as-you-type, AJAX- or DHTML-style checker.
What are YOU using to spell-check on the web?
As always, your help will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Simeon
