Add Spell Check to text fields?? - SteadmanTech - Jan 4th, 2012
Is there a way to add spell check to text fields using Form Tools?

Hi Steadman,
Not "out the box", I'm afraid. Did you want this functionality within Form Tools itself, or on your public form?

It'd be great if it were available within Form Tools itself but from the sounds of it that is not likely. If that's the case I am wondering if there is a way to build spell check onto Form Tools in my individual install. I am guessing that could be very complex to accomplish but I don't know. Hence the question...
Maybe I should be searching the web for javascript solutions or something of that sort?
I have a client for whom I have installed Form Tools. They love the system but are complaining that their users make horrible spelling errors and they actually publish these form submissions so this is a bad situation for them. If I could implement spell check on a field-by-field basis that would solve the problem. So a global solution built into Form Tools would not necessarily be a requirement.

Adding my voice here, because it's an interesting thought. I'd like to see a spell-check of some kind on a field by field basis as well. This would be on public web-based (external) forms.

Huh! Clearly there's an interest in this.
This *could* be done with the Custom Fields module, but it would take a little custom work to configure the field. Unfortunately, I'm going to be busy with the website update + Form Builder for the next few weeks and won't be able to look at anything until then. But once it's been released, remind me about this: I'd very much like to add it.
