[Using Sakai] FCKEditor Spell Check

[Noah Botimer]

My testing with the FCKeditor spell checker options left me unsatisfied. You may want to check out this setting:

http://docs.cksource.com/FCKeditor_2.x/Developers_Guide/Configuration/Configuration_Options/FirefoxSpellChecker

As that page mentions, you'll have to decide between having the browser's context menu as the default right click menu or the FCKeditor context menu. Whichever you choose, the other will be available by holding Control and right-clicking on Windows (and I think Command on Macs).

I am also exploring an integration with CKEditor and After the Deadline. I won't promise a timeline, but I would like to see these as options for Sakai 2.7.x, since CKEditor addresses some long-standing accessibility concerns.

Thanks,
-Noah
