The PHP Spell Check API

The PHP Spell CHeck API consists of 2 main classes:

Class SpellCheckButton renders a button allowing you to spell-check on demand. This normally occurs in a pop-up dialog - similar to that in MS Word. This experience is familiar, un-intrusive and popular in Intranet and CMS applications.
Class SpellAsYouType renders inline spellchecking with "red wiggly underlines" - again consistent with MS Word. Right clicking on a spelling mistake allows it to be corrected in a familiar context menu. This functionality is programmer controllable and worlds across all major web browses (and many minor ones)

These classes may be used together - or on their own.

Spell-checking can occur for:

Text Areas
Input fields
Any HTML Element
Over 200 Rich HTML (WYSIWYG Editors) including all major editors:
- CKEditor, Tiny MCE, FCK Editor, Cute Editor, HTMLArea, ASP.Net AJAX Editor, Innova Edit, Yusasp, RAD Editor, Custom Editors (automatically detected)

In addition we have a non visual spellchecker API:

The PHP Core Class Allows you to build custom PHP spell checking applications of you own - as well as fine tune the behavior of the SpellAsYouType and SpellCheckButton classes.
