I use ieSpell which I found on TOTV. It works well on all Internet sites but unfortunately, it does not highlight the misspelled words when it tells you there is a wrong word. It is difficult to find the word in error.
Does anyone know of any other Internet spell check that actually highlights the word in question?
Thanks.

Thanks. But GMail cannot spell check my TOTV posts. I am lookng for an internet spell check like ieSpell that does better highlighting of the incorrectly spelled words on internet postings.

If you are using IE just install the Google toolbar and it has a spelling checker that works with not problems. Not only does it underline the misspelled words it will highlight the word in red.
A side note Google toolbar will not work with the latest version of FireFox. Also try a Google search on why ieSpell will not highlight misspelled words and it will give you a lot of blogs regarding the subject. One of the blogs said something about 32 bit vs. 64 bit versions of IE so I may try looking at that to see if there is a difference.
You would think that Microsoft would develop something as simple as a working spelling checker.

I use After the Deadline, a plug-in for the Chrome Browser. It highlights words, also checks style and grammar, anywhere.
