Erm... I haven't used Safari in a while, and I don't have it on my iBook (ethernet port's shot, but I'm getting an Airport card after school ends)... Is there a tools menu or something?

Safari's spell check is under the "Edit" menu. It works, too. Schweet.

NEVER!

The cocoa interface controls come with spellchecker automatically. I think with the case of chimera, it's a cocoa application using a carbon rendering engine - so while the interface is cocoa, the controls within web pages are carbon, and the text views don't have access to the spell checker.

Heh, can you imagine browsing around the web with little red lines everywhere?

Google is my spellcheck.

google won't check a 3 paragraph post will it?
ctishman.... it only checks things you write in fields. Not every thing on the page... though that would be pretty funny.

Exactly. Can you imagine going to http://www.somethingawful.com/jeffk
with that on?
