Javascript based web application templates

Question

I just got a spellchecker requirement in the web application we are creating. I know everything about FF, Chrome, IESpell, etc., but this is a client request.

Given that the only way to implement something like this (in real time) with JavaScript libraries, I want to know, has anyone tried any of them with open source? Were they good? In general, what types of good / bad things can be said about this approach?

I assume that in this, I am opposed, as it is simply more work for end users to do for little profit. I assume that I mean that it will be a script that constantly does something as opposed to an AJAX request or a quick update of the div, which can lead to seemingly poor performance for our application, even if it is a spell check every input field on page. It also seems that there is a lot of room for javascript error to stop the whole site.

Thoughts?

Answer 1

I agree that spellchecking should be native if it works all the time. If the client requires an explicit spellcheck, it should be implemented as a button, which should be clicked as necessary. It might also be worth firing this XHR request after the user has stopped typing a certain amount of time, for example, SO does syntax highlighting when writing a message.

I used After the expiration date for my school spell editorial for a school newspaper, as it is powerful, it also checks for simple grammar errors, and integrates seamlessly with TinyMCE . There is also a jQuery plugin for integration with the service.

Answer 2

I did some research on this issue for the web application I am planning.

Googie Spell is very good, you can use your servers or run your own python backend .

There is a demo here .
