This is embarassing, how do you get the spell checker in the browser (using a a PC) to work? I've clicked spell check on but to no effect, when writng here.

I haven't used a PC before.

My Mac has died.

Help please.

Google Chrome has a spell checker in it.

Will try that, thanks! I downloaded a Check from Firefox and it said spellchecker "on", and then when it didn't work I wondered if there was some weird magic button pressing cermony known only to PC users that made it lfunction:)

Us Mac users were very left out of that big computer briefing in the sky, you know.

Thanks.

In Firefox, the spellchecker is enabled by default (in FF5, it is under Options -> Advanced -> "Check spelling as I type"). I'm not sure about Internet Explorer (even I won't use it), but Google Toolbar has some spell checking functionality for browsers that don't support it.
