Publisher's description
From Red Egg Software :IESpell is a free Internet Explorer browser extension that spell-checks text-input boxes on a Web page. It should come in particularly handy for users who do a lot of Web-based text entry (Web mail, forums, blogs, diaries). Even if your Web application already includes spell-checking functionality, this utility is faster than a server-side solution. Plus, you get to store and use your personal word list across all your applications instead of having to maintain separate ones on each application.
The program installs as a new button in the IE toolbar (and as a new menu item under Tools). After filling in a form, click the IESpell button and it pops up a dialog similar to the Microsoft Word spelling checker.
In version 2.1.1 build 325, ShowModalDialog can take any HTML elements, and support for ignoring words marked with an underscore has been added.

Version: IESpell 2.1.1 build 325
"Free, effective - excellent."
Pros: Good selection of dictionaries, sits neatly in the toolbar without causing any hanging or bugs in IE, spell checks input boxes fast and accurately and has no nag screens. An excellent and essential addition to the IE browser.

"Wonderful Spell-Check Program"
Pros: If you use online forms or message boards, then you need this IE add-on. It will check the spelling of your text so that you will have error free writing. I love it. It works like a charm. I post in message boards a lot, and they mostly do not have built-in spell checkers, so I have to write it in a word processing program that has one, then copy and paste it over. With this program, now I can do this within my IE browser. It also works in IE-based browsers as well.
Cons: This won't work in Firefox, Opera, or any other non-IE browser. So if you are an alternative browser user, then you won't benefit from this. It does not check grammar, and you can't really add anything to the dictionary. Still, I love this program and would install it on any computer where there is IE. I don't know how I lived without it!!!

"It's a Plug-in that's actually useful!"
Pros: Wow, an Internet plug-in that's useful, especially if you tend to do lots of reviewing chatting and general online typing madness. It's great for anyone who doesn't want to look a fool because they can't spell properly.
Cons: It didn't seem to work in my AOL browser, but there is probably a way around this! doesn't do grammar (least i don't think it does).

"Something worth installing for ie"
Pros: This utility is very handy... earlier i use to compose my mails in word and do a spell check, now i can do it from my ie browser itself.
Cons: does not have an option to add to dictionary.

Version: IESpell 2.1.1 build 325
Pros: It's really good. I frequently make spelling mistakes so it helps.
Cons: No EN-GB localization, only US (guess where I live :) )
Google toolbar can do this, so you firefox users will want to check that out.
