SpellingCow.com is proud to announce its latest release, version 3.2, the "cross-cow edition". This release adds preliminary support for the Opera and Safari web browsers. This allows SpellingCow to support over 99% of today’s browser market, making it a great solution for any web site. Opera versions 8.5+ (perhaps earlier too) and Safari 1.3+ are well supported for short messages, though some issues such as scrolling in longer messages remain.

This release also vastly improves positioning the highlights in FireFox and Internet Explorer 6 and 7. Attributes like padding, margin, border, line-height, and font specifics are all taken into account and forced to match the textarea settings. We feel the checker is now more tightly integrated and seamlessly fits in with your site!

With the core functionality solidly complete, the next release will expand the feature set. Expected additions include support for multiple textareas and textboxes; custom dictionaries; support for 75 languages and dialects; an administrator section for maintaining site options and a site-wide dictionary; and an interface for licensed sites to monitor their usage statistics. A few more treats are planned, if time allows.

Does the main page demo use an older version? Because if it's using 3.2, it definitely does not work on either Opera 8.51 or 9.02 on Windows for me. It highlights misspelled words, but that's it. Clicking on a word doesn't pull down the list of suggested corrections as it should.

I'd love to use SpellingCow, but I think I'll have to stick with Googie Spell for the time being. I only wish Googie Spell worked as you type like SpellingCow does.
