Can you make Spell Check always stay ON?

Question

Is it possible to have Spell Check stay on, once you turn it on?If not, is there a way to let your post use the browser's Dynamic Spell Check?I often write a post, click Post, then realize I forgot to Spell Check (because I'm used to Dynamic Spell check, which doesn't work when you are writing a post).

Good point. Yes, it does seem to get confused. This issue would be solved though, if I clicked Spell Check on, and it stayed on? Is that too hard to code on the forums?

The spellchecker in SBS works in a different way - when you click the button it sends one copy of the message to the server and parses it for errors, so there is no concept of it "staying on". It's like a submit button - it does not work as-you-type, as that would result in too much network traffic. All the depressed status of the toolbar button means is whether the underscores loaded from the previous click are visible. If you type more stuff it's not checked.

Browser extensions can parse in real time because the data is not being sent anywhere.

The inbuilt spellchecker in Firefox runs in the editor windows without problems, at least for me. What browser are you using?
