spell checker and coldfusion

Has anyone managed to get Aspell, spellerpages and CF to work propery on both IE and FF?

After much work modifying the broken-out-the-box spellchecker.cfm file, I managed to get both browser to
display either:

-the unparsed html in the select box (not appropriate as it triggers endless spelling errors flags due to the html markup)
- the parsed html , albeit completely broken as it conflicts with the spellechecker style sheet.

In both case it's completely useless, as nobody would settle for a half-baked spell checker. In the meantime I disabled the spell checker icon in ff and am using iespell on ie (with good success).

So... has anyone managed to get ASpell and CF to work together as intended?

Cheers,

Stephan
