The ASPSpellCheck Installation Process

ASPSpellCheck installation is simple. There are no DLLS, ActiveX controls or installers.  This makes it very easy to use, even  on most virtual hosting packages.

Installing the component into your web application onto your web server

ASPSpellCheck is installed by copying the entire ASPSpellCheck directory (in the ZIP archive you downloaded) into a directory of your website. The ASPSpellCheck folder should be copied into the root level of your website wherever possible. If you do not work with IIS sites, then the root level of your website is likely to be c:\inetpub\wwwroot

Normally, the best position for this is in the root level of your website, as this makes for a clean and simple usage. If you decide to place the ASPSpellCheck component elsewhere, please make a note of this.

 

Testing your ASPSpellCheck Installation

Using your web browser, view the script sample.asp within the ASPSpellCheck directory.  
For example: http://www.mysite.com/aspspellcheck/sample.asp

You should be able to see a simple HTML form.  By clicking in the button beside it, you will open the spellchecker dialog.  The Spellchecker will take a few seconds to set itself up the first time you use it.

Note:

If you installed the ASPSpellCheck to a directory other than  /ASPSpellCheck then you will have to amend sample.asp to test the installation. 

The code should read as below, where myFolderPath is the root level of your ASPSpellCheck directory e.g."/components/ASP/ASPSpellChecker/"

Sample.asp:

<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<%option explicit%>

<!--#include file="ASPSpellInclude.inc"-->

<html>
<head>
<title>ASPSpellCheck Sample</title>
</head>

<body>

 <textarea id="MyTextArea" name="MyTextArea" cols="30" rows="10" >
Hello World.  Ths iz a tezt sampl. 
</textarea>

set myLink = new AspSpellLink

myLink.aspSpellPath="myFolderPath"

myLink.fields="MyTextArea"
response.write myLink.imageButtonXHTML("","","Spell-Check")
set myLink=nothing
