Description: Implementing a spell check on web pages can be a difficult thing to do. Two solutions are possible - a server side solution or a client side solution.
A server side solution means that the web server is responsible for doing all of the processing. Such a solution requires a very fast computer to handle potentially a very large number of concurrent spell checks. Users of Microsoft's Hotmail facility would be familiar with this technique. Unless you manage your own web server, have lots of computing hardware, have a web site that no one uses or have lots of programming talent, then this solution is probably inappropriate for you.
A client side solution is a more appropriate way of solving the problem in the majority of cases. A client side spell checker uses the CPU and existing software of the computer running the web browser. This decentralized model means that the web server does not have to be especially powerful. Also the web master can implement and deploy the spell check with a minimum of effort in a variety of ways that fully integrates with the look and feel of the rest of the site.
Client side solutions have another advantage in that the language and dialect used to do the spell check can be set by the user. Since the spell check runs locally on their computer, it is up to the user to select their own language and dialect. In a server-based solution this functionality is either very difficult or impossible to implement.
Most companies have words and terminology unique to their industry. Often a company will have a corporate custom dictionary and each user will have a personal custom dictionary. The Web Browser Spell Check by default has access to this information and will incorporate these dictionaries into the spell checking.
A client side spell check is not without disadvantages. Users are required to have spell checking software installed on their computer, they need certain versions of a web browser and may need to lower their security settings in order for it to work. However, with the current trends in computing, the vast majority of users will readily satisfy these requirements.
