Opera Spell check

[.AlleymaN]

Found this on Opera forums few days ago, felt it needed coverage here on neowin too.

...works as specified and pretty well.

edit: Spell check ver 2 (now works inline instead of popping up a new window)

edit2: Version 3.5 (if it can be called that, now gives the option to choose between Google's dictionary [requires sign in] and the Orangoo dictionary)

I would install it, but I don't use spell check even when I have it :( But from what I can tell it looks great! Nice find!

oh my god! thanks a lot! I've never been able to make aspell to work. And the popup thing was annoying compared of what Firefox does built in feature.

thanks for this wonderful js!

This is awesome. So, I take it custom JavaScript can be used to "port" over many Firefox extensions, right?

[halcyoncmdr]

Yes, many FF extensions can be reproduced using some form of UserJS/UserCSS and toolbar buttons. Not all of the functions can be reproduced, but many of them can.

I for one would still like to see an API if only to make it easier on the end-users. And maybe Opera officially continuing the task that userjs.org has had to stop. :cry:

I can't get it to work. I put it in a folder in my Opera profile, then set tools/preferences/advanced/content/javascript options/user java script files to that folder. Restarted Opera and it seems to do nothing. Can someone help me get it working? This is the only feature I really miss from Firefox.

Edit: NM, got it working :p
