Spell check in self service pages

As Oracle Applications is moving browser based OA Pages, the need and ability to spell check as you type is on the rise. Here is a simple workaround to achieve spell check (useful, for example, when entering data in iRecruitment or Talent Management / Performance Management modules)

For Internet Explorer:
1) An add-on called ieSpell does the job. ieSpell is a free Internet Explorer browser extension that spell-checks text-input boxes on a Web page. User can highlight a text and spell check by using Tools => ieSpell. Notice that ieSpell is subject to licensing for corporate users.
2) Installing the Google toolbar will also provides spell check functionality.

For Mozilla Firefox:
This includes a spellchecker tool by default. This tool will check spelling as you type. To enable spell check in Mozilla Firefox, go to Tools -> Options. Choose the Advanced Tab and highlight the General sub tab. Check the check box for 'Check my spelling as I type'.
