That's easy, you can add an Icon that looks like whatever you want. Are you actually trying to build a spell chequer function into your browser?

That'll get you the button, but that's a little advanced... Those are instructions for software developers.

Here's the thing:

Microsoft has a really nice spell chequer, but they never thought to give it the ability to work in web fields. personally, I just type anything long into Word, and cut-paste it into the web field when I'm done. Ta-Da.

The only other way to do this is to download a third party aplication that either mods a spell chequer into IE, or ties in your existing one. Windows does not make such a program, to my knowledge. If they did it would come with windows.

These programs are out there (like IESpell, found at iespell.com) but I don't know how reliable or spyware free these proggies might be...

Anyone else know more about them?
