How To Integrate ieSpell Into CKEditor 3.x?

Well I got the call to execute finally, by moving the Javascript for ieSpell into the same folder as my plugin.

It now calls the ieSpell function that is supposed to perform the spelling, but fails to find ieSpell and puts up a popup which asks me to download it.

I know ieSpell is installed correctly because I can call it from the MSIE Toolbar using the ieSpell button.

I tried debugging the ieSpell function, but I am not getting anywhere. Of course it would be easier in Firefox with Firebug, but ieSpell will only work with MSIE

Below is my plugin.
I am assuming that the "node" is the "Id" of the Textarea which I have in the editor.
The exception I am getting is "Type Mismatch".
Any thoughts please?

CKEDITOR.plugins.add('iespell', {
   init: function (editor) 
   {
      var pluginName = 'iespell';
      editor.addCommand(pluginName, {
         exec: function (editor) 
         {
//            var sel = editor.getSelection();
//            var sel = editor.getData();
//            var sel = editor.element.getName();
            var sel = editor.name;
//            void CheckDocumentNode(sel);
            checknodespelling(sel);
         }
            

      });
      
      editor.ui.addButton('ieSpell', {
         label: 'ieSpell Check',
         icon: this.path + 'images/iespell.gif',
         command: pluginName
      });
   }
});

My call to ieSpell now functions, however once in ieSpell it gives an error, and fro the life of me I cannot see what it is. Hoping someone can point out what is hopefully fairly obvious and help me on my way. My Javascript is fairly limited, and I haven't dealt much with ActiveX Controls at all. ieSpell hasn't been updated in 3 years and I am unlikely to get support from there unfortunately.

What I have in my plugin is the following:

CKEDITOR.plugins.add('iespell', {
   init: function (editor) 
   {
      var pluginName = 'iespell';
      editor.addCommand(pluginName, {
         exec: function (editor) 
         {
            var sel = editor.name;
//            checknodespelling(sel);
            var tmpis = new ActiveXObject("ieSpell.ieSpellExtension");
            tmpis.CheckDocumentNode(sel);
         }
            

      });
      
      editor.ui.addButton('ieSpell', {
         label: 'ieSpell Check',
         icon: this.path + 'images/iespell.gif',
         command: pluginName
      });
   }
});

should execute ieSpell, however it fails because it gets caught on an exception.

The ieSpell API code is as follows:

//this function will invoke ieSpell on the specified node. The rest of the document is 
//not touched
function checknodespelling(node) {
  try {
    var tmpis = new ActiveXObject("ieSpell.ieSpellExtension");
    tmpis.CheckDocumentNode(node);
  } catch(exception) {
    if (is_ie&&is_win) {
      window.open("http://www.iespell.com/download.php","Download");
    }
  }
}

As you can see in my plugin, I have temporarily commented out the real function call, and instead have just called:

var tmpis = new ActiveXObject("ieSpell.ieSpellExtension");
tmpis.CheckDocumentNode(node);

The new ActiveXObject executes and gives "tmpis" the following value:



On the very next statement "tmpis.CheckDocumentNode(sel)" I get an exception "Type Mismatch".
I have no idea why and what is causing this, but assume it's the value of "tmpis".
"Textfield2" is the Id/Name of my Textarea by the way, the example that they give uses a Div Name not a Textarea Name. Should that make a difference?

I did change the code once more so that it calls the ieSpell function to spell check the whole document, not just the "node" (sel). This works fine, so it's the value of "sel" that it doesn't like.

//            checknodespelling(sel);
//            var tmpis = new ActiveXObject("ieSpell.ieSpellExtension");
//            tmpis.CheckDocumentNode(sel);
            checkdocspelling();

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
