We are using one Web-enabled Lotus Notes application, which will allow the users to compose mail in the browser. We now have a requirement to provide the spell checker (in the browser) before sending mail to customers. Currently, iNotes can be used in web mails to do the spell check. Is there any way to implement the same feature in a Web-enabled Notes application? In other words, do you know of a way we can integrate iNotes with developed Notes applications, other than finding a third-party tool that does this?

Just FYI, that’s something that built into most browsers these days, which is why you won’t find a lot of spellcheck implementations in the wild anymore. Internet Explorer is the odd man out, but you can add a spellcheck plugin to IE. (There are add-ins that will work in IE6 and up, and others that use the plugin infrastructure of IE8 and up.) Unless you have a really, really good reason to have two different spellcheckers fighting it out in the browser, it’s probably better to leave it out of your app.

If you need a web spell checker for use with MSIE for your Domino apps, I would check out the jQuery spellchecker plugin – it uses the Google spell checking service. We used it in a project a while back with good results.
Here’s a link to their demo:
