fr:spell-check - calling from trigger

is there a way to use a trigger to call the spell-checker component instead of the icon that appears when you bind it to a control?

I'd like a "toolbar" in an HTML edit dialog, so I'd rather have the spell-check button appear next to the other buttons.

Francis,

Since last week, the spell checker is using and fr:button. Have it
tried it since? Is it rendered in a way that works better for you? (I
am not sure what you mean by "toolbar"; maybe a screenshot could
clarify that.)

Re: fr:spell-check - calling from trigger

Alex - I have not tried the latest builds. Do you have a screenshot of what the button looks like?

I just wanted to be able to use a regular trigger to call fr:spellcheck, rather than having the button automatically placed next to the text field. This is because I want to have a few triggers grouped together above the html edit field (that's all I meant by "toolbar"), and it seems more logical to have them together rather than most above, and the spellcheck trigger following the text field.

Is this possible?

Francis,

The button looks as in the screenshot attached, and you can customize
it with CSS (e.g. removing the text to only keep the icon, or even
change the icon). The button doesn't need to be next to the field; you
can have the button anywhere you want in your page. The only
constraint is that the button is bound to a specific node; i.e. you
can't spell check text in multiple node with a single button.

Re: Re: fr:spell-check - calling from trigger

Alex - thanks for the screenshot. I downloaded the nightly build to look at it. If I were to use it all I'd have to do is use fr:button for the other buttons to make them match (the others are regular xforms triggers).

However, at this point I don't know if I'll be able to use the Google service (at work) as it's probably being blocked, but I don't really know - however it seems to work fine at home!

BTW, when I click the spell-check button, I see the "Loading" indicator appear and nothing else happens.

There is still a possibility to try Spellex, but I don't know if the powers that be will want to buy it ;-) Thanks anyway!
