Spell checking in Firefox

While complaining about MovableType, I realized that 3.0 didn’t even have a spell checker. This would have bugged me if I hadn’t remembered hearing about the fact that some browsers now include this. Of course, IE and Firefox don’t do this… out of the box, at least.

So then I found SpellBound. According to this site, it is:

SpellBound is a port of the spell checker user interface from Mozilla’s Composer that enables spell checking in web forms (e.g. html textarea and html input elements – html input password elements are not checked by SpellBound – wysiwyg rich text forms).

I must say, SpellBound combined with JustBlogIt and MT-Textile, gives me a great tool for blogging more frquently. Plus it doesn’t help that MT now has a decent machine to run on!
