[FX.php List] Teachers need spell checker

[Leo R. Lundgren]

I just now tested DbNetSpell and it looked quite nice. But, it does  
not work with Safari.

I e-mailed the developers, and their direct response is that they  
only support Firefox or Internet Explorer, and that there are no  
plans to support Safari as "the development overhead is not justified  
by the demand". So I guess those of us that need to support the major  
browsers are out of luck, unless someone patches it to work with Safari.
