Frequently Asked Questions
How do I install ASPSpellCheck?
ASPSpellCheck is installed by copying the directory "ASPSpellCheck" (from the downloaded ZIP archive) to the root of your website. You can test the installation by viewing the script sample.asp in that directory.
How do I add more dictionaries?
You can download more dictionaries from this website. To install these dictionaries simply copy them to the "Dictionaries" directory within the ASPSpellCheck directory of your site.
How do I add new words to the dictionary, such as the name of my company?
The ASPSpellCheck Custom Dictionary allows you to add a list of custom words to your ASPSpellCheck spell checker. The easiest way to add words is to type them into the custom.txt file within ASPSpellCheck/Dictionaries directory. Use one word to each line, preferably in alphabetical order.
Is ASP Spell Check compatible with Mozilla FireFox?
ASPSpellCheck is compatible with almost all modern web browsers.
Make user that all of your form elements have an id attribute, as this is required by FireFox to interface with form elements.
Example:
<textarea name="field1" id="field1"> Text </textarea>
Can i integrate ASPSpellCheck with my WYSIWYG Rich Editor?
ASPSpellCheck integrates with almost all online Rich HTML Editors (WYSIWYGs). This includes HTMLArea, FCKEditor, Innova Edit, YUSASP Edit and many more.
This requirements is so popular that we wrote a tutorial with full source code.
Do we need to install MS Word on our web servers?
ASPSpellCheck is is stand alone. MS Word is not needed, neither is a database server.
Can we run the Spell Checker for multiple websites on the same server?
You can run ASPSpellCheck for any number of sites on the same server under the Server or Enterprise License. We suggest that you install the spell checker into a Virtual Directory - so the code is held in 1 central location.
Will we need to buy a separate license for our development servers?
The ASPSpellCheck trial is fully functional except for an occasional nag screen. It does not expire - and hence is ideal to use as a free "developer" version of the component.
Is there a reseller discount for ASPSpellCheck?
ASPSpellCheck is designed for developers to implement for their clients. You can profit by purchasing the Enterprise license to cover the requirements of unlimited future clients. We offer a significant discount to developers who purchase the component in large volumes (over 10 licenses).
Is there an easy way to force a spell check on form?
There sure is. This requirements is so popular that we made a demonstration with full source code.
Can I check more than one text box on a web page?
This requirement can be implemented in minutes. We also have a
tutorial with full source code to help you with this.
Can we pay by Purchase Order / Invoice?
Yes. We try hard to support your financial processes.
Just select the "Invoice" option on the payment screen when checking out.
When I "Add" a word to my dictionary during spell checking, where is it stored
?
ASPSpellCheck stores this data in an encoded format in a cookie. It is personal to that user. It may be reset on the "Options" screen of the dialog . To add a word globally, use the Custom Dictionary .
Can I make my own dictionary?
ASPSpellCheck allows you to extend the exiting dictionary using the Custom Dictionary. If you want us to build you a specialist dictionary file from a list of words - we will happily oblige.
Can I block specific or profane words?
Using the ASPSpellCheck settings file, you may block any words you chose to.
I have Purchased ASPSpellCheck but the Nag screen still pops up. What is wrong?
This happens because your ZIP extractor is not set to overwrite existing files. SImply delete your "ASPSpellCheck" Directory from your website, then install as per the manual's instructions.
Can ASPSpellCheck be implemented without the use of ASP?
Surprisingly, yes it can! you can implement ASPSpellCheck using the Javascript API alone.
Does this spell checker also work for ASP.NET?
Yes ASPSpellCheck works in an ASP.NET Environment. Tutorial >
How does ASPSpellCheck perform under heavy load?
ASPSpellCheck is designed to perform exceptionally well under heavy load. Unlike other products is breaks down the spell checking task into small, manageable chunks - and uses advanced Server Caching to keep server CPU / Hard Disk usage to a minimum.
Can I remove the "Add to Dictionary" Button?
Many developers wish to remove the "Add to Dictionary" button, normally this comes from a lack of understanding.
When a user adds to dictionary, the word is stored in a cookie on their computer - not on the server. No central dictionary is updated, so there is no harm in keeping the button.
However ASPSpellCheck allows you to remove the "Add to Dictionary" button using the ExternalCSS property to disable or hide it.
Can I edit the user interface.
Despite the fact that the code is obfuscated and encoded, you can manually edit the user interface of the spell checker.
By far the easiest way is by using the externalCSS property. Because the Interface was developed using a technique called CSS Zen, almost every aspect of the UI can be remodeled using CSS alone.
You may also edit the HTML portions of the code as they are not encrypted. This is probably best done by editing the file aspspellcheck.asp in a visual IDE such as Dreamweaver or InterDev. Be sure to back up this file before you proceed.
How Do I Fix a 500-100 Server Error
If ASPSpellCheck produces an ASP error, it is almost certainly caused by an out of date Windows Script Engine (which powers all ASP).
From MSDN, you can download free updates for NT4 and Updates for Server 2000 and above.
Can ASPSpellCheck handle HTML / XML Content
ASPSpellCheck is also able to spellcheck HTML, XML and XHTML documents. The tags an CDATA elements will not be seen nor damaged.
