| If it solves my problem, it won't solve the problem of other visitors who are using MSIE |

Who knows? But there are two of us with the same problem.
Actually, I doubt it, as Firefox is OK while MSIE 6 & 7 are not. |

I'm battling the same problem with the phpBB forum I administrate. One of the moderators is using IE 6.0 and he does not even get the checkbox option. I'm sure there are others since the majority of our users do use IE.
I did have the previous pop-up version installed, but it quit working suddenly so I added this version. I thought there might be a conflict so I've been going through and removing all of the old Spelling Cow code.
I had the mod refresh the page, empty his cache and nothing fixes the problem. He never gets the option to enable Spelling Cow.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!  |

I have the same problem with IE6.
I have tracked it down to the cookie that is set when you turn off (uncheck) spell check.
When you reload the page you get this javascript error: 'this.q.style' is null or not an object.
I have to delete that cookie then when I reload the page it shows up again like it should.
This should tell you where to look.
Still, you have done a good thing here,

I just put this into a beta site i am developing and it works great in IE6 until disable then I still get to error as mentioned previously.
Interesting thing is that the disable function works fine here on your phpBB.
Did you find a fix? - I did not see one posted.
Thanks,
Rob |

The code we use here on www.spellingcow.com is the exact same code you use on your website.
That is definitely strange to say the least.
I'll let Craig know asap.
thanks for the input. |

Kaser,
I am getting the same error as Owens4 explained.
Looking at the source code on your phpBB2 - I'm thinking you are adding some hidden fields to recognize the cookie that we are not instructed to put in our forms.
Thanks again,
Rob |

Nice find. Although the only code I see different is the additional
| Code: | <script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function handle_sc_ayt_incompatiable(msg)
{
show_spellcheck_button();
}
function handle_sc_ayt_disable()
{
show_spellcheck_button();
}
function hide_spellcheck_button()
{
// run the original onload
if (window.pre_button_hide_onload)
{
pre_button_hide_onload() ;
}
// hide the button
var sc_button = document.getElementsByName("spellcheck") ;
if (sc_button.length > 0)
{
sc_button[0].style.display = 'none' ;
// hide the trailing BR
sc_button[0].nextSibling.style.display = 'none'
}
// disable auto_spell_check if set
var auto_spell_check = document.getElementsByName("auto_spell_check") ;
if (sc_button.length > 0)
{
auto_spell_check[0].value = 0 ;
}
}
function show_spellcheck_button()
{
var sc_button = document.getElementsByName("spellcheck");
if (sc_button.length > 0)
{
sc_button[0].style.display = '' ;
// show the trailing BR
sc_button[0].nextSibling.style.display = ''
}
}
var pre_button_hide_onload = window.onload ;
window.onload = hide_spellcheck_button ;
// -->
</script>
|
But that is only handling the "show spellcheck button, or not" part.
I don't see how that would help you out by adding that to your forums. |

Kaser,
I experimented a ton with this and I think i nailed it to the script not handling the ASP.NET textbox properly.
I set up a couple demo pages where I can recreate the error.
First page SC works fine with a HTML textarea field first.
Second page breaks SC (won't reload SC after turning it off) with a .NET textbox first.
only way to get SC back is to delete the cookie or go back to HTML and turn SC cookie back on.
See Sample pages:

Hope this helps debug process
