With the new version and running IE6.0 on XPsp2: if I disable the spelling cow, I can't get it re-enabled. Reloading the page doesn't fix it, restarting the browser doesn't fix it.

Oddly, what does fix it, is running the favlet. Any ideas?

When it's not working, it kicks out a script error (Line 7, character 11380. Error: 'this.r.style' is null or not an object), Line 7 on the test page corresponds to the textarea.

Have you made any editing to the styles, or anything at all?

When you disable spell checking, usually it tells you that you that you will not be able to re-enable spellingcow until the page is refreshed.

Is the error only when you choose to disable the spellchecker?

Code:
<html>
<head>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://buttercup.spellingcow.com/spell/scayt"></script>
</head>
<body>
<textarea>thsi a tset</textarea>
</body>
</html>



It's wild. I refresh the page and it's all still turned off, no checkbox. It's like the javascript variables weren't reset. It might be the work proxy here, I'll do more tests.

I find the same, once the "Spell check as I type box has been turned off, it doesn't come back on, and I get a javascript error also:

Code:
this.r.style is null or not an object


However, it works on the SpellingCow site itself, and the favelet works.

Strange. I just tried to replicate this in IE (version 7) and didn't have a problem. Are you folks still having this issue?

Exactly as described before with this example.

- First time page is opened behaves OK
{
- Turn off spell as you type, get warning message
- Reload page, get JS error as described previously
- Shut down reload etc, gives same error
- Run favelet, page is restored
- Reload page, all is now OK
} // repeat loop

Hrmmm.... I still am not replicating it, though I don't doubt there could be a problem. I'll try a computer with IE6 and see how that does.

Works for me in Firefox/Mozilla. My recollection is that it didn't wotk in IE7 before I uninstalled it. I have run SpellingCow before (previous version) and I wondered about the cookie.

FYI, I've now tried this in both IE6 and IE7 and am not having a problem. However I do believe you have a real problem b/c I seem to remember this happening in the past. I think you might have an older version of the javascript saved in your browser cache that doesn't have the fix.

Please clear your browser cache and let me know if you still have the problem. Thanks for trying to resolve this!

I cleared the cache and it made no difference -- though we also do have a network cache which makes that kind of test almost impossible

Hrmmmm.... I'll be sure to look through the code even though I can't replicate it.

Thanks,

Maybe getting FireFox will solve your problem?
