Spell check not staying enabled in certain fields?
On a vBulletin forum I post on, there is a Quick Reply form at the bottom of threads. Spell checker is disabled in this form automatically. It works if I right click and tick "Check Spelling", but I was wondering if there is a way to make it always enabled in that field rather than having to set it to check every time. Thanks in advance.

I'm guessing that it is a single-line text field. See http://ilias.ca/blog/2006/12/automatically-spell-checking-single-line-text-fields/

Is that a normal text area like on this forum or a Rich Text area? It is possible that the website is disabling the spell checker.

It's not a single line, I actually already changed the layout.spellcheckDefault value to 2 and fixed that. But it did nothing for the "Quick Reply" form.
Here is a screen shot of what I am talking about:
That looks like a rich text editor. Do you see a spellcheck="false" in the View > Page Source?
cor-el: Nope, nothing like that in the page source. If it means anything, the spell check works fine on that form in Google Chrome, but not in Firefox.
If it were the Firefox spell checker, you would see a "Languages" menu item as well. I think the website you are using is overriding the Firefox right-click menu. If you go to Tools > Options > Content. Then beside "Enable JavaScript" click on Advanced, then uncheck "Disable or replace context menus" Then restart Firefox, and try again, does it work?
Do you get the Language item in the right-click context menu in this demo? http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/
