[Javascript] JSpell implementation help.

[James Conley]

Based on the at the FAQ on their website I would guess that it's even a
bit more intelligent than that. It sounds like a slick algorithm :

How does JSpell work?

JSpell takes a block of text from either a GUI component or another
source (an HTML Form, for example) and extracts individual words. JSpell
then validates these words against a small in memory dictionary and then
checks any words that were not found against either a disk based or
network based dictionary (depending upon which version of the software
you are using).

John, I don't think they're sending you the dictionary -- they're
sending themselves your text, spellchecking on their server, and
returning the results to you.

The technology is undoubtedly Ajax/XMLHttpRequest which can exchange
component data between client & server without reloading the whole page.
