Spell checker error in IE 8

I've tried both the 3.3.2 release and the last nightly and cant seem to get the spell checker or the "check spelling as you type" to work under IE 8.

Regular spell check displays an error dialog saying "Sorry, but service is unavailable now".

For "check spelling as you type" it thorws an exception. It seems the exception is again coming from the third party service used for doing the actual spell checking - spellchecker.net. Is this something that spellcheck.net has to fix? Or are others not having an issue with this?

Thanks!

Re: Spell checker error in IE 8

I have similar problem, spellcheck returns service unavailable and scayt button disables when I click 'Enable SCAYT'.

I am using winform IE8 webbrowser with local path.

I tried pretty much everything I could think of, even basehref file:/// escaped and unescaped...

Re: Spell checker error in IE 8

Hi,

Can someone from support reply to this post?

This is turning into a big issue for us, we have people implementing web pages and spell checking is critical.

We're trying to use CKEditor in our .NET application. This is going to force us to look into other editors.

It's disappointing that this issue has been posted for over 2 weeks without a response.

Is there a different method to get better support?
