#13 Mac OS X
Hey there. This is the guy who complained about contractions
breaking Speller Pages. Thanks so much for releasing the fix for
that; I'm gonna go ahead and try it tonight and see if that fixes
my problem.
Another issue I thought I'd just make you aware of: Speller
Pages doesn't seem to work under Internet Explorer for Mac OS
X. The Speller Pages window pops up and hangs at "Spell check
in progress." This happens on the demo site as well as on my
own installation.
Go figure.

I definitely want speller pages to work with OSX + Safari,
Mozilla/Camino/Firefox and a recent version of IE. And Opera
I guess.
But so far, I've been able to conclude that the speller
pages app will probably never work with IE 5.2 on the Mac.
:( But what version of IE were you using?
Logged In: NO
5.2. Of course. :) I was going to try to look at the code and
try to figure out why it wasn't working, but it sounds like
that'd be futile. Too bad. Any word as to whether Speller
Pages works in Mozilla or Firefox? I don't a Mac at my disposal
to try it out.

Hi Martin,
I'm currently working on a 1.0 version that will support Gecko-
based browsers (such as Mozilla, Firefox) on Mac OSX as well
as Safari. However, it's going rather slowly since I'm only
finding sporadic time to work on it! :}
Anyway, I don't know off the top of my head if the current
(0.5) version works with Mozilla or Firefox on OSX, and I don't
own a Mac either, but I'll try and find out next time I use one.

Howcome it'll never work with IE 5.2 on a mac?
Anything I can do to help change that? :)
We've got some users who have IE 5.2 and are using it in
preference to Safari (which has no problems)...

Hi davisonja,
The new version I'm working on (very slowly) is planned to
make heavy use of W3C DOM in order to increase its
standards-compliance. But from some of the first prototypes I
created, I found that IE 5.2 on the Mac didn't implement
some DOM features that were necessary (for my design at
least).
I have been thinking I could "never" get it to work with IE 5.2
because of the DOM issues. But I know IE 5.2 supports at
least some of it, so I'll look into it a bit further to see if it
might ever be able to work. Also, I don't think it will be
feasible to code in a lot of conditional logic depending on the
type of browser, unfortunately.
If you have any good IE 5.2/Mac resources for DOM support
please let me know.

Ah, I see.
Does that mean there's a chance the current version could be
fixed so that it did work with 5.2, do you think?
