Ospell - Opera spell checker

Since Firefox 2 and it's unique inline spell checking feature Opera users have been screaming for the same functionality.  Ignorant Opera users will argue that Opera already has spell check with the use of  GNU Aspell and has had it for years.  But the installation of Aspell is clumsy - too clumsy for the average user - and using it is also clumsy.

Thankfully Sombria identified a practical solution for Opera users and developed OSpell.

OSpell is a Javascript application that installs by saving two files into your user Javascript folder that Opera will load automatically.  The script adds a button to selected textareas that you can click to quickly spell check the textarea.  It's not as quick and simple of Firefox's method, but it's close and good enough for me.  If you're an Opera user, OSpell is a must have.

Rules: Paragraphs and linebreaks are automatically created (two or more linebreaks create a paragraph). Linebreaks between code tags remain linebreaks. Block tags cannot be enclosed by inline tags. Red attributes are required and green is optional.

Use "&lt;" and "&gt;" for "<" and ">". Enclosing PHP code in <code> tags will highlight the code (i.e. <code>&lt;?php echo 'hello world'; ?&gt;</code>).
