SpellChecker

This class allows you to provide spell checking for text. It uses Google to check if the text is correct and to get some suggestions. This is done by a PHP script that uses cURL to get some xml and translates it to JSON, so we can use Request.JSON for our client-side. That is where Request.SpellCheck is build on. Request.SpellCheck will give you an array in the onSuccess event that you can use. (for mark-up things)

How to use

var spell = new Request.SpellCheck([options]);

Class: Request.SpellCheck

This class extends Request.JSON, so you can use all Request.JSON stuff you already know.

Syntax

#JS
var spell = new Request.SpellCheck([options]);

Options

All the options of Request.JSON

• lang: (string: default en) The language Code
• ignoredigits: (boolean: default false) true to ignore digits, false to check them
• ignoreallcaps: (boolean: default false) true to ignore words with all caps, false to check them

Events

All the events you know from Request.JSON

success

Fired when the request completes. This overrides the signature of the Request.JSON success event.
